upgpkg: 17:4.3.0-3: add hip-rt support Closes #24

Hurricane Pootis requested to merge hurricanepootis/blender:lto into main

Blender expects hiprt 2.3, as indicated by the presence of a 2.3 hiprt kernel in blender's tarball release. Therefore, I created an aur package hiprt-2.3.

To get blender to see hiprt, HIPRT_INCLUDE_DIR and HIP_LINKER_EXECUTABLE has to be set as a cmake arguments.

Currently, I am going to be on a system that is no longer supported by HIP (Vega APU). Until I can get back to my Desktop, I will not be able to test to see if this actually works. But, so far, I have built and launched blender with this pull request and hiprt-2.3 installed.

Also, this obviously requires hiprt-2.3 being an official package. I also made hiprt, which is exclusive from hiprt-2.3 and is on version 2.5 for the moment.
