If the current patch sets `__OPENCL_VERSION__` differently than the runtime does then it seems like we should make it match, but I'm not sure how best to confirm that.

The `__OPENCL_VERSION__` macro in the kernel needs to match the version returned by `clGetDeviceInfo` (both refer to OpenCL version supported by the device),
which in turn must be <= version returned by `clGetPlatformInfo`.
This part makes it unsuitable for hardcoding in the compiler.

`__OPENCL_VERSION__` should indicate device capabilities rather than language features. specs talk about available resources.
For example, `CL_DEVICE_IMAGE2D_MAX_HEIGHT` is required to be >= 8192 for OpenCL 1.2 while it's required to be >=16384 for OpenCL 2.1.

if there's to be a default value hardcoded in the compiler it'd be nice if platform drivers had an easy way to override (lower) it.
