Through the new `-foffload-via-llvm` flag, CUDA kernels can now be
lowered to the LLVM/Offload API. On the Clang side, this is simply done
by using the OpenMP offload toolchain and emitting calls to `llvm*`
functions to orchestrate the kernel launch rather than `cuda*`
functions. These `llvm*` functions are implemented on top of the
existing LLVM/Offload API.
As we are about to redefine the Offload API, this wil help us in the
design process as a second offload language.
We do not support any CUDA APIs yet, however, we could:

For proper host execution we need to resurrect/rebase

(which was designed for debugging).
