[Beignet] [PATCH] Fail gracefully on unsupported hardware

If no compatible hardware is present, clGetDeviceIDs is supposed to 
report CL_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND to the caller, but in Beignet this currently
ends the whole program with exit(-1) or assert(0).  This fixes this.

This is required to have a "just works" OpenCL in Debian/Ubuntu, as
their package manager doesn't know the hardware and hence commonly will
install Beignet on hardware that doesn't support it; returning an error
allows the caller to try other ICDs until it finds the right one, or to
run without using OpenCL.  Previous discussion:

Testing if you only have supported hardware: use a chroot, the GPU
isn't visible from inside.  

Identical patch in case line wrap mangles this:
