This PR proposes a new KHR extension,
sycl_khr_free_function_kernels, which lets an ordinary namespace-scope C++ function serve as a device kernel entry point.A free function kernel is declared by decorating the function with a macro.
Its kernel arguments are the function's parameters (each must be device-copyable), giving them a defined order, and the kernel is identified by the function itself. As such it can be launched and queried by reference to the function rather than only as a lambda.
The extension defines:
is_nd_kernel_v<Func, Dims>,is_task_kernel_v<Func>) that report a function's kernel kind from its declaration alone;launch_grouped,launch_task) that take the kernel via akernel_function<Func>handle.
