<summary>Changes</summary>

Device code linking happens inside clang-linker-wrapper. In the current implementation, clang-linker-wrapper does the following:

1. Extracts device code. Input_1, Input_2,.....
2. Group device code according to target devices Inputs[triple_1] = ....
Inputs[triple_2] = ....
3. For each group, i.e. Inputs[triple_i], a. Gather all the offload kinds found inside those inputs in ActiveOffloadKinds b. Link all images inside Inputs[triple_i] by calling clang --target=triple_i .... c. Create a copy of that linked image for each offload kind and add it to Output[Kind] list.

In SYCL compilation flow, there is a deviation in Step 3b. We call device code splitting inside the 'clang --target=triple_i ....' call and the output is now a 'packaged' file containing multiple device images. This deviation requires us to capture the OffloadKind during the linking stage and pass it along to the linking function (clang), so that clang can be called with a unique option '--sycl-link' that will help us to call 'clang-sycl-linker' under the hood (clang-sycl-linker will do SYCL specific linking).

Our current objective is to implement an end-to-end SYCL offloading flow and get it working. We will eventually merge our approach with the community flow.
