Add a way to choose witch GPU to use

[rkcosmos]

Hi, you can now choose your gpu by

reader = easyocr.Reader(['en'], gpu = 'your choice here')

[rkcosmos]

OK, will add this feature soon. In the mean time, you can use cpu by using

reader = easyocr.Reader(['en'], gpu = False)

Hi tried this but still had issues:

     69     img = prep_img_for_easyocr(img)
     70     img = remove_table_from_scan(img)

     72     return result
     73
