Summary:                    Building CUDA files fails when compile definitions
contains parenthesis
Description: 
When calling cuda_wrap_srcs with the OPTIONS argument or when adding compile
definitions via add_definitions the build fails when the definitions contain
parentheses. For example,

add_definitions("-DFOO_BAR_EXPORT=declspec\(dllimport\)")

generates:

set(nvcc_flags -DFOO_BAR_EXPORT=declspec(dllimport))

which makes the build fail. When the parentheses are escaped like so:

add_definitions("-DFOO_BAR_EXPORT=declspec\\\(dllimport\\\)")

we get:

set(nvcc_flags -DFOO_BAR_EXPORT=declspec\(dllimport\))

and everything is fine.

This is similar to issue: https://cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15919

Maybe a similar fix can be applied?
