The maturity of ROCm/HIP still lacks significantly behind CUDA, but it has further improved. Especially CMake support via provided Config Mode files looks promising and has some advantages over CUDA. However, host compiler support (beyond hipcc) is still pretty much non-existent. Bump the required ROCm/HIP version to 7.1 and update the thrust module to rely on rocthrust detection. This should hopefully make the HIP backend less prone to incompatible upstream changes.
Note that the HIP backend is still considered experimental.
