Introducing 3 new APIs:
ncclResult_t ncclGather(const void* sendbuff, void* recvbuff, size_t sendcount,
ncclDataType_t datatype, int root, ncclComm_t comm, hipStream_t stream);
ncclResult_t ncclScatter(const void* sendbuff, void* recvbuff,
size_t recvcount, ncclDataType_t datatype, int root, ncclComm_t comm,
hipStream_t stream);
ncclResult_t ncclAllToAll(const void* sendbuff, void* recvbuff, size_t count,
ncclDataType_t datatype, ncclComm_t comm, hipStream_t stream);
Only out of place operation is supported.
Preprocessor symbol RCCL_GATHER_SCATTER=1 indicates API availibility.
By default the APIs launche RCCL kernel implementation, which can be disabled by
RCCL_ALLTOALL_KERNEL_DISABLE=1. Then the APIs use wrapper around ncclSend and ncclRecv.
Add support for network collectives.
Add support for XML topology dump/injection.
Add text values for GDR and P2P Levels, including "NVL".
Add speed detection for PCI, Infiniband and Ethernet cards.
Add CPU detection for ARM and AMD CPUs.
Add support for adaptive routing on Infiniband.

capability into a single structure and add other properties.
1. Fix RCCL unit test
2. Add ROME detection and tuning
3. Change default P2P level
4. Fix search algorithm for XGMI
5. Remove explicit channel duplication with implicit by using half of link speed
6. Add collective trace support
7. Correct Intel Skylake CPU detection and bandwidth
8. Fix topo connect function
9. Disable GDR read and remove unreachable code
10. Disable LL128 kernels
11. Add tuning parameters
12. Use original clock64() implementation which returns RTC counter value
13. Print out timestamp of collective trace
14. Do not use struct ncclColl in kernel launch parameter
