This PR allows a HIP kernel to be launched without a caller in incremental mode. This is necessary because in incremental mode(clang-repl), there isn't a `main` or any function that calls the kernel.
Also adds a Sema test that compiles a top-level HIP kernel launch in incremental device mode and verifies it is accepted.
