will add a brief description of HIP support on other devices.

will do

+     - Defined with a value of 1 when the target device lacks support for HIP 
image functions.
+   * - ``HIP_API_PER_THREAD_DEFAULT_STREAM``
+     - Defined when the GPU default stream is set to per-thread mode.

This is due to design inconsistency. The same with `__HIP_NO_IMAGE_SUPPORT`.

Since these two macros are new and not widely used, renaming them won't cause 
significant interruptions. I will let clang emit `__HIP_NO_IMAGE_SUPPORT__` and 
`__HIP_API_PER_THREAD_DEFAULT_STREAM__` and make the current ones alias and 
document them as deprecated.

The macros for HIP memory scope were designed by following the naming 
convention of clang atomic macros e.g. `__ATOMIC_RELAXED`, 
`__OPENCL_MEMORY_SCOPE_WORK_ITEM`, therefore they will not be changed.
