[CUDA] Assume the latest known CUDA version if we've found an unknown one.

Summary

This makes clang somewhat forward-compatible with new CUDA releases without
having to patch it for every minor release without adding any new functionality.

If an unknown version is found, clang issues a warning (can be disabled with -Wno-cuda-unknown-version)
and assumes that it has detected the latest known version. CUDA releases are usually supersets
of older ones feature-wise, so it should be sufficient to keep released clang versions
working with minor CUDA updates without having to upgrade clang, too.

Use std::string instead of Twine which can't be stored.

@hans : that's another candidate for 10.x cherry-pick, if you're OK with it.

We got some issue with this warning.

Basically CudaInstallationDetector is a member of GNU and other host toolchain and this check is done in the ctor.

If a user has latest CUDA SDK installed, clang will always emit a warning. If the user has -Werror set, which is quite common, compilation will always fail.

Is it possible only do this check for CUDA compilation?

Thanks.

Agreed. Clang should not warn about this unless it's a CUDA compilation. I'll get it fixed.
