[amdgpu] Elide module lds allocation in kernels with no callees

Introduces a string attribute, amdgpu-requires-module-lds, to allow
eliding the module.lds block from kernels. Will allocate the block as before
if the attribute is missing or has its default value of true.

Patch uses the new attribute to detect the simplest possible instance of this,
where a kernel makes no calls and thus cannot call any functions that use LDS.

Tests updated to match, coverage was already good. Interesting cases is in
lower-module-lds-offsets where annotating the kernel allows the backend to pick
a different (in this case better) variable ordering than previously. A later
patch will avoid moving kernel variables into module.lds when the kernel can
have this attribute, allowing optimal ordering and locally unused variable
elimination.
