* [PATCH] gdb/testsuite: replace hipcc with amdclang++ as the HIP compiler

  To: gdb-patches; +Cc: Lancelot Six

The GDB testsuite discovers and invokes hipcc to compile the HIP
testcases.  hipcc is deprecated and slated for removal, so switch the
testsuite over to amdclang++.  Unlike the hipcc wrapper, amdclang++ is
the plain clang driver, so a few HIP options that hipcc handled
implicitly now have to be passed explicitly.

Compiler discovery (lib/future.exp):
- Look for amdclang++ under $ROCM_PATH/lib/llvm/bin instead of hipcc
  under $ROCM_PATH/bin.
- Rename the HIPCC_FOR_TARGET environment override to
  HIP_COMPILER_FOR_TARGET, and gdb_find_hipcc / find_hipcc to
  gdb_find_hip_compiler / find_hip_compiler.  The "hipcompiler"
  board-info key is left unchanged for backwards compatibility.

Compile and link flags (lib/gdb.exp):
- amdclang++ infers the input language from the file extension and
  compiles .cpp as C++, not HIP.  The HIP testcases are kept named
  .cpp (rather than renamed to .hip), so tag each input explicitly:
  "-x hip" before C/C++/HIP source files and "-x none" before object
  files, archives and other inputs.  This lets a single invocation
  handle a source list that mixes sources with prebuilt objects.
- Pass --hip-link when producing an executable, to bring in the HIP
  runtime.
- Pass --rocm-path only when ROCM_PATH is set in the environment;
  otherwise defer to amdclang++'s own HIP discovery.
- Pass one --offload-arch per available device, unless the testcase
  already selects an architecture.
- Drop the explicit -O0: it was only needed because the hipcc wrapper
  defaulted to -O2, whereas amdclang++ already defaults to -O0.  An
  explicit "optimize" option still overrides it.

Testcases (lib/rocm.exp, gdb.rocm/*.exp):
- Rename allow_hipcc_tests to allow_hip_tests.
