The rocm_agent_enumerator program does not exist on all HIP supported
platforms (such as e.g. the Windows HIP SDK).
Fix this by compiling and running our own replacement HIP program that
lists AMD GPU devices, instead of calling rocm_agent_enumerator.
With this, we no longer need to check if we have a working HIP
compiler available (by compiling a similar HIP program), as compiling
the enumerator program achieves the same goal. In turn this means
that the cost of having this replacement is essentially zero. Same
number of external process invocations, and essentially the same
number of lines of code. And we get to drop one dependency.
We just need to be careful to not call hcc_amdgpu_targets when
compiling the GPU device enumerator program, otherwise we hit infinite
recursion. That is handled by passing a new hip_no_offload_arch
option to gdb_compile.
Both Linux and Windows ROCm builds nowadays ship with an alternative
amdgpu-arch program (also installed as offload-arch) that we could
use, but as explained above, having our own replacement has basically
no cost, so I'm not proposing using it.
Note also that the hip_no_offload_arch flag will be used in other
places, in future patches.
