Added __cl_clang_non_portable_kernel_param_types extension that
allows using non-portable types as kernel parameters. This allows
bypassing the portability guarantees from the restrictions specified
in C++ for OpenCL v1.0 s2.4.
Currently this only disables the restrictions related to the data
layout. The programmer should ensure the compiler generates the same
layout for host and device or otherwise the argument should only be
accessed on the device side. This extension could be extended to other
case (e.g. permitting size_t) if desired in the future.

Files compiled with C++ for OpenCL mode can now have a distinct
file extension - clcpp, then clang driver picks the compilation
mode automatically (-x clcpp) without the use of -cl-std=clc++.
