Summary
Adds basic profiling code to find suitable threshold values for OpenMP and gate fusion for backend options.
Closes #954
Details and comments
The automatic settings can be set by running
AerProvider.optimize_backend_options()
which sets attributes of the AerBackend that are used to populate the backend options at runtime (if no custom values are input).This is sub-optimal since it needs to be run each session, TODO is to save this profile to an rc file that can be loaded automatically if present so it only needs to be run once per system. @mtreinish or @atilag can you help with how to do this?
