[HIPIFY][Feature] Adding ability to hipify only header files in hipconvertinplace-perl.sh

[mcordery]

Problem Description

In working on porting a library, I've run in to the situation where I'm only making use of the header files in a library (e.g. .h, .cuh) and none of the .cu files which may only be tests or library code that I'm not making use of. It would be nice if hipifyconvertinplace.sh had the ability to take a flag, e.g. --convert-headers-only, that could be passed to findcode.sh. This would provide the benefits of

1. reducing the amount of translation time, sometimes significantly
2. reducing the amount of output that needs to be parsed for errors/warnings about things that need to be addressed.

Hello @mcordery,

I don't quite understand the aims of the supposed --convert-headers-only.
Is the goal just to reduce the hipification time (hipify-clang, hipify-perl, both?), or is hipification of the source codes is not needed in fact?

[AMD Official Use Only - AMD Internal Distribution Only] It would just reduce the time to hipify everything if you didn’t need the repo’s .cu files at all. We’re in the process of porting a bunch of nvidia repos to hip and generally all we need are the header files but sometimes there can be a lot of .cu files either through library code that we don’t need or extensive test files that we don’t need.
