This pull request removes ROCm 5 code path and adds ROCm 7 runtime to library search list. ROCm 5 runtime is no longer shipped with AMD drivers, and ROCm 5 compiler is no longer compatible with newer driver versions. It also adds ROCm 7 runtime to the list of runtime libraries to look for. Starting later this year, ROCm 7 runtime will be bundled with the driver installer, and all future runtime fixes and improvements will target ROCm 7. Once ROCm 7 runtime is rolled out, ROCm 6 compiler will continue to work with it for about a year as a transitional measure. Beyond that, compatibility is not guaranteed.
