Perhaps for HIP compilation it would make more sense to define __CUDA_ARCH__ as 1 (this should serve as a legacy indication of device-side compilation) and define __HIP_ARCH__ to indicate which AMD GPU we're compiling for without accidentally enabling something that was intended for NVIDIA's GPUs only.

The HIP_ARCH_ macro provide per-feature-granularity mechanism to query features.  Also the code tends to be more clear as opposed to an "if __CUDA_ARCH>3 ..assume some feature".

CUDA code needs to be translated to HIP code since the host API is different. In most cases the translation can be done by script automatically. `__CUDA_ARCH__` cannot be automatically translated because it is not portable to non-nvptx devices, however it is often used to indicate device compilation. Therefore we still need to define it in HIP to indicate device compilation. In this way, CUDA programs using `__CUDA_ARCH__` just for checking device compilation can be automatically translated. If users want to use features associated with specific `__CUDA_ARCH__` they can manually modify the translated code to use `__HIP_ARCH_HAS_*` macros.
