I think the printouts you're talking about come from the variable in the CUDA toolchain specifically. Here we simply create one to get the version and throw it away. It's not ideal to do the same work twice, so we could wrap this into some singleton interface. Maybe a static optional value inside of the `Toolchains/Cuda.cpp` file wither a getter that returns a reference to it. Though I don't think this is likely to be a bottleneck.

We already heard complaints that searching for CUDA installation in multiple places does add a measurable delay when the search hits NFS-mounted directories.

Replacing uses of `CudaInstallation` with a getter function returning a reference to a singleton would be great.
