Consider increasing the minimum nvcc version from 11.0.3 to 11.4+

[aprokop]

We are running in the issues with nvcc 11.0.3:

• Issues with deduction guides (e.g., Finalize BasicBoundingVolumeHierarchy #915)
• Issues with internal compiler errors/ptxas (Moving least squares interpolation #946, Cut down on the number of AccessTraits #967)

We also had to work around versions < 11.4 (#850).

Upgrading the version would make our life easier.

The following versions are available right now (11/27) on the platforms:

Platform	Versions
Summit	10.1.168, 10.1.243, 10.2.89, 11.0.2, 11.0.3 (D), 11.1.1, 11.3.1, 11.4.0, 11.4.2, 11.5.2, 11.7.1
Perlmutter	11.4, 11.5, 11.7, 12.0
Polaris	11.2.2, 11.4.4, 11.6.2, 11.7.1, 11.8.0, 12.0.0

Only Summit carries version smaller than 11.2. Unfortunately, 11.0.3 is also the default one on Summit, and is used by HACC. Summit usage is extended through October 2024 (source).

(Temporarily) switched to CUDA 11.1.1 in #978

HACC team is not on SummitPlus. So, there's no blocker on switching CUDA version to something newer. Just need to decide what to. I think 11.5 or later would be preferable.
