NonNativePointVar, or Point Simulation

[weikengchen]

Summary

This feature request proposes an implementation of NonNativePointVar, which extends NonNativeFieldVar to points.

Problem Definition

I thought that we previously decided to rename nonnative to field_simulation and I sort of like the latter (as you can see, I have been widely using field simulation when talking about nonnative field vars".

I see that we stick to the old one that is more established.

There seems to be a rising demand to use nonnative tools in production. The potential benefit of it is that it may help developers to do nonnative SW, TE, and M points in a more unified way.

Proposal

NonNativePointVar would likely just be a "C++ STL"-like wrapper to NonNativePointVar.
