Identifies kernels which performs device side kernel enqueues and emit
metadata for the associated hidden kernel arguments. Such kernels are
marked with calls-enqueue-kernel function attribute by
AMDGPUOpenCLEnqueueKernelLowering pass and later on
hidden kernel arguments metadata HiddenDefaultQueue and
HiddenCompletionAction are emitted for them.

This patch adds a post-linking pass which replaces the function pointer of enqueued
block kernel with a global variable (runtime handle) and adds
runtime-handle attribute to the enqueued block kernel.
In LLVM CodeGen the runtime-handle metadata will be translated to
RuntimeHandle metadata in code object. Runtime allocates a global buffer
for each kernel with RuntimeHandel metadata and saves the kernel address
required for the AQL packet into the buffer. __enqueue_kernel function
in device library knows that the invoke function pointer in the block
literal is actually runtime handle and loads the kernel address from it
and puts it into AQL packet for dispatching.
This cannot be done in FE since FE cannot create a unique global variable
with external linkage across LLVM modules. The global variable with internal
linkage does not work since optimization passes will try to replace loads
of the global variable with its initialization value.
