New HIP backend?

[lenhone]

Probably to early to ask but with core 2.2.11 being supported in plugin version 3.3.21 can the HIP back end be tested?

Observations:

• Setting "CREATION_FLAGS_ENABLE_HIP" in context.py produces renders... not sure if it does anything though apart from render a little slower.
• Running Blender with environment variable "TH_FORCE_HIP=true" crashes the GPU requiring a reset.

We haven't tested it yet in the plugin. So probably best to wait. The support was just added, and we don't have a build with 2.2.11 SDK up yet. Unless you're building yourself.

No worries will wait for official release, thanks.
