Small tool, doc, sample enhancements.

- Expand message when HIP version mismatch detected.
- Doc touchup.
- change sorting of hipBusBandwidth so byte results shown at top.

- For Nvidia platforms, HIP requires Unified Memory and should run on a device which runs the CUDA SDK 6.0 or newer. We have tested the Nvidia Titan and K40.
### Does Hipify automatically convert all source code?
Typically, Hipify can automatically convert almost all run-time code, and the coordinate indexing device code.
Typically, Hipify can automatically convert almost all run-time code, and the coordinate indexing device code (i.e. threadIdx.x -> hipThreadIdx_x).
Most device code needs no additional conversion, since HIP and CUDA have similar names for math and built-in functions.
HIP currently requires manual addition of one more arguments to the kernel so that the host can communicate the execution configuration to the device.
The clang-hipify tool will automatically modify the kernel signature as needed (automating a step that used to be done manually)
Additional porting may be required to deal with architecture feature queries or with CUDA capabilities that HIP doesn't support.
Developers should always expect to perform some platform-specific tuning and optimization.
In general, developers should always expect to perform some platform-specific tuning and optimization.
### What is NVCC?
NVCC is Nvidia's compiler driver for compiling "CUDA C++" code into PTX or device code for Nvidia GPUs. It's a closed-source binary product that comes with CUDA SDKs.
