hipify-clang could be built by Visual Studio 14 2015 or higher.
[Reason]
hipify-clang contains c++14 features which are not supported even by the latest VS 2013 and the Platform Toolset "Visual C++ Compiler Nov 2013 CTP".
[ROCm/hip commit: cd15a85663]
- Improved install instructions for AMD-hcc and NVIDIA-nvcc.
- Removed redundant section related to HCC-Native-GCN-ISA.

Header files in those dirs are an integral part of clang, which includes wrapper headers for CUDA.
There is no need in checking those dirs.
[Reasons]
1. clang will not take into account empty or irrelevant include dirs;
2. Packages for different clang versions will have different header files in the above dirs.
[ROCm/hip commit: c519c89abf]
[Reasons]
+ We don't compile kernel code at least for now as HIP kernel syntax is almost equal CUDA's;
+ clang always includes PTX in its binaries, so e.g. a binary compiled with --cuda-gpu-arch= would be forwards-compatible with e.g. sm_35 GPUs.
[ROCm/hip commit: dec459efca]
+ Due to latest Windows SDK implementation based on c++14 features, '-std+c++14' is a must;
+ Doesn't affect older versions of MSVC 2017, 2015 (the latest supported is MSVC 2015);
+ On linux still '-std=c++11' is a must;
+ Exclude '-std=' from lit config.
[ROCm/hip commit: 2d3f62c3e1]
[Reasons]
+ File is opened further by clang
+ There is a regression with LLVM 5.x, when system error occurs: temporary file couldn't be renamed - permission denied.
[ROCm/hip commit: 912c4710ed]
Option -o-dir for output directory:
+ if not specified source file(s) directory is used;
+ creates the directory if the directory doesn't exist (only one level in a tree);
+ if -o and -o-dir both are specified the hipified file is placed to "-o-dir" + "-o";
+ reports an error in case of a wrong directory specified, in case of necessity of creating a tree of subfolders, or in case of a filename specified.
[ROCm/hip commit: c8d720081f]
1. Option -temp-dir for temporary directory:
+ if not specified system temp is used;
+ creates the directory if the directory doesn't exist (only one level in a tree);
+ reports an error in case of a wrong directory specified, in case of necessity of creating a tree of subfolders, or in case of a filename specified.
2. Option -save-temps for preserving temporary files:
+ if specified temporary files are not being deleted from system temps and user temps as well.
3. Work with files in terms of calculated absolute paths by collapsing all '.' and '..' patterns, resolving symlinks and expanding '~' expression to the user's home directory:
+ to produce correct include paths;
+ to avoid possible errors on file routines.
