Program's supported target_types should be a subset of ObjectCode's. Based on the nvrtc API, the supported target_types should be LTOIR, PTX and CUBIN.
If someone used nvcc to compile some.cu file with the -fatbin flag, they should be able to construct an ObjectCode object from that data. Therefore ObjectCode's supported types should not be limited to Program's target_types.
Also supported by nvrtc is optix. So that could be added as well down the road. This change can remain minimal.
