Mixed Device Libs Not Detected if Not in Project

[AbhinavPraveen]

If Julia is started (and using AMDGPU) and no project is activated, safe_exec (called from src/discovery/discovery.jl) calls this command:

/home/me/julia/julia-1.10.0-beta3/bin/julia -Cnative -J/home/me/julia/julia-1.10.0-beta3/lib/julia/sys.so -g1 --startup-file=no --project=/home/me/.julia/packages/AMDGPU/zf490/ --threads=1 -e 'push!(LOAD_PATH, "/home/me/.julia/packages/AMDGPU/zf490/");import ROCmDeviceLibs_jll; println(ROCmDeviceLibs_jll.bitcode_path)'

ERROR: ArgumentError: Package ROCmDeviceLibs_jll [873c0968-716b-5aa7-bb8d-d1e2e2aeff2d] is required but does not seem to be installed:
 - Run `Pkg.instantiate()` to install all recorded dependencies.

However running the same command without the AMDGPU project:

/home/me/julia/julia-1.10.0-beta3/bin/julia -Cnative -J/home/me/julia/julia-1.10.0-beta3/lib/julia/sys.so -g1 --startup-file=no --threads=1 -e 'push!(LOAD_PATH, "/home/me/.julia/packages/AMDGPU/zf490/");import ROCmDeviceLibs_jll; println(ROCmDeviceLibs_jll.bitcode_path)'

/home/me/.julia/artifacts/5ad5ecb46e3c334821f54c1feecc6c152b7b6a45/amdgcn/bitcode

However, if using a project (test) with the mixed device libs installed, safe_exec calls:

/home/me/julia/julia-1.10.0-beta3/bin/julia -Cnative -J/home/me/julia/julia-1.10.0-beta3/lib/julia/sys.so -g1 --startup-file=no --project=/home/me/julia/test/Project.toml --threads=1 -e 'push!(LOAD_PATH, "/home/me/.julia/packages/AMDGPU/zf490/");push!(LOAD_PATH, "/home/me/julia/test/Project.toml");import ROCmDeviceLibs_jll; println(ROCmDeviceLibs_jll.bitcode_path)'

/home/me/.julia/artifacts/5ad5ecb46e3c334821f54c1feecc6c152b7b6a45/amdgcn/bitcode

So the device libs detection only works if in an active project. If this is intentional/expected LMK and I'll write a pull request for the docs.

PR #540 now handles everything automatically and there is no need for use_devlibs_jll preference.
So it should fix this as well.

AMDGPU 0.7.4 release now includes the fixes. Feel free to reopen if needed.
