Michael Kruse 83ff0ff463 [Clang][OpenMP] Allow unified_shared_memory for Pascal-generation GPUs. ...

The Pascal architecture supports the page migration engine required for
unified_shared_memory, as indicated by NVIDIA:
 * https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/unified-memory-cuda-beginners/
 * https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/beyond-gpu-memory-limits-unified-memory-pascal/
 * https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index.html#um-requirements

The limitation was introduced in D54493 which justified the cut-off by
the requirement for unified addressing. However, Unified Virtual
Addressing (UVA) is already available with sm20 (Fermi, Kepler,
Maxwell):

Unified shared memory might even be possible with these, but with
migration of entire allocations on kernel startup.
