This patch seeks to add the -gpulibc and -nogpulibc for Flang, which allows the linking of the GPU libc library, this allows the use of memcpy and other useful library functions for GPU.

In particular, this allows the Fortran runtime (written in C++) to be compiled for offload and then linked against the GPU LIBC library via this option to resolve memcpy and other C library functions that the fortran runtime depends on for AMD GPU devices (and likely other GPU devices).

This is the current method I've tested and found to be able to utilise the Fortran runtime when compiled for AMD GPU, albeit it requires compiling libc for GPU and then the Fortran runtime for GPU, so not particularly straight forward or user friendly yet.

Activating this option will allow the subset of C functions to also be utilised for GPU in other C/C++ based Fortran libraries if any are made when linking against GPU libc.
