SWDEV-145570 - [HIP] refactor hipMemcpy* functions to correctly handle copies using prepinned memory
The current implementation of hipMemcpy functions picks the copy type based on a flag that the user passes. However, one can use the hipMemcpyHostToDevice/hipMemcpyDeviceToHost flag in a combination with prepinned memory. By using the WriteMemoryCommand/ReadMemoyCommand in this case, we will pin the same host memory twice. This is fine on PAL/Linux, since pinning the same VA range is a noop, but this will start failing once we switch to using device memory with HIP/VDI/HSA.
The solution is to ignore the hipMemcpyKind flag and let the runtime decide what kind of copy is best to do. Except for the case when hipMemcpyHostToHost is passed, since both host pointers may be prepinned.

When shareWithAll memory (e.g., host memory) is allocated, set appId
in hc::AmPointerInfo to -1 to indicate that this memory is not mapped
to any device. Peer checking in ihipStream_t::canSeeMemory is not
necessary if memory is shared with all devices. Thus, it is skipped.
Note that earlier host memory is always mapped to device 0 and HIP
always performs peer checking for all kinds of hipMemcpy. Since the
peer checking process requires context locking, hipMemcpy from/to host
memory always grabs device 0's context lock. Therefore, if there is
another thread holding the context lock of device 0 (e.g.,
hipDeviceSynchronize on device 0), hipMemcpy will have to wait for the
lock until it can actually perform memcpy. This can significantly
deteriorate execution performance.

- Uses c++11 features. Added it to nvcc options
- Arguments for some kernels exceeded 4096 bytes which is the limit
imposed by nvcc. Reduced BLOCK_DIM_SIZE to 512 to handle this
- Fixed compilation issues on nvcc path

I've noticed that in the generated makefiles, we'd have
if(NOT build_configuration)
set(build_configuration Debug)
endif()
However, only definitions with all capitals are provided.
e.g.
set(HIP_HCC_FLAGS_DEBUG -g)
This is because of lines 442 to 448. We capitalize the configuration ${config_upper}.
This PR fixes this bug.
Add support of environment variable HIP_VDI_HOME.
By setting environment variable HIP_VDI_HOME to the distribution directory of HIP/VDI, hipcc
will choose proper include and lib path for hip-clang.
