This patch adds and exception to the nvlink wrapper tool to not pass
empty cubin files to the nvlink job. If an empty file is passed to
nvlink it will cause an error indicating that the file could not be
opened. This would occur if the user tried to link object files that
contained offloading code with a file that didnt. This will act as a
workaround until the new OpenMP offloading driver becomes the default.

An archive containing device code object files can be passed to
clang command line for linking. For each given offload target
it creates a device specific archives which is either passed to llvm-link
if the target is amdgpu, or to clang-nvlink-wrapper if the target is
nvptx. -L/-l flags are used to specify these fat archives on the command
line. E.g.
clang++ -fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64 main.cpp -L. -lmylib
It currently doesn't support linking an archive directly, like:
clang++ -fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64 main.cpp libmylib.a
Linking with x86 offload also does not work.
