ROCm compatibility

[erkinalp]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
HVM2 currently requires CUDA and only works on NVIDIA GPUs, which is an issue

Describe the solution you'd like
Have a ROCm+HIP compatible port of HVM2.

Describe alternatives you've considered
none

Additional context
Initial porting of the CUDA-specific layer can be done mechanically using hipify, but then the further optimisation needs to be done manually

I'm not personally familiar with the HIP nor the ROCm platform / framework. Do you have any good introductory resources to these?

It's AMD's source code compatible replacement for CUDA: https://github.com/ROCm/HIP
