rocAL OpenCL Backend

Instructions for building rocAL with OPENCL GPU backend:

clone rocAL git repository

git clone https://github.com/ROCm/rocAL.git

run the setup script to install all the dependencies required by the OPENCL GPU backend:
```
cd rocAL
python rocAL-setup.py --backend OCL
```

run the below commands to build rocAL with the OPENCL GPU backend:

mkdir build-ocl
cd build-ocl
cmake -DBACKEND=OPENCL ../
make -j8
sudo make install

Note:

rocAL cannot be installed for both GPU backends in the same default folder (i.e., /opt/rocm/) if an app interested in installing rocAL with both GPU backends, then add -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in the cmake commands to install rocAL with OPENCL and HIP backends into two separate custom folders.
PyPackageInstall used for rocal_pybind installation - supported only with HIP Backend
