How to see which processor has which gateset

[balopat]

Is your feature request related to a use case or problem? Please describe.

It would be great if the processor would "know" what gateset it accepts - instead of having to pass that in. I find this rather odd. While there is a way to list processors using the Engine API or the UI, there is no way to tell what gate set a processor accepts. The processor.get_device() method takes a list of gate sets which then it uses to validate operations.

processor = engine.get_processor('rainbow')
# Print the device showing qubit connectivity for the Sycamore gateset.
device = processor.get_device([cg.SYC_GATESET])

Describe the solution you'd like

Instead it would be great if a gate set could be determined based on a processor ID.

Describe alternatives/workarounds you've considered

Alternative is to ask someone, use documentation/datasheets (if available).

What is the urgency from your perspective for this issue? Is it blocking important work?
P3 - I'm not really blocked by it, it is an idea I'd like to discuss / suggestion based on principle

processor = engine.get_processor('weber')
spec = p.get_device_specification()
for g in spec.valid_gate_sets:
  print(g.name)

@verult I think this can be closed as part of the device spec work.

Yep, closing in favor of #5050
