OpenCL 3.0 -> 1.2

OpenCL 2.x was not going that well cos many hardware vendors still stuck on 1.x
without features like virtual memory, so Khronos decided now to make 1.2 the min
standard for 3.0 and further features just optional...

Currently we have Nvidia's Cuda, AMD's OpenCL/Hipp, Apple's Metal and Intel's
upcoming OneAPI as competing standards...maybe they can agree to some lowest
common denominator again.
