[NVPTX] Introduce attribute to mark kernels without a language mode
We may want to be able to mark certain regions as kernels even without being in an accepted CUDA or OpenCL language mode. This patch introduces a new attribute limited to `nvptx` targets called `nvptx_kernel` which will perform the same metadata action as the existing CUDA ones. This closely mimics the behaviour of the `amdgpu_kernel` attribute. This allows for making executable NVPTX device images without using an existing offloading language model. I was unsure how to do this, I could potentially re-use all the CUDA attributes and just replace the `CUDA` language requirement with an `NVPTX` architecture requirement. Also I don't know if I should add more than just this attribute. Reviewed By: tra Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D140226
