This actually fixes an issue in unit-test packetmath_2 with pcmp_eq when it is compiled with clang. When pcmp_eq(Packet4f,Packet4f) is used instead of pcmp_eq(Packet2d,Packet2d), the unit-test does not pass due to NaN on ref vector.
The vec_vsx_ld/vec_vsx_st builtins were wrongly used for aligned load/store. In fact, they perform unaligned memory access and, even when the address is 16-byte aligned, they are much slower (at least 2x) than their aligned counterparts.
For double/Packet2d vec_xl/vec_xst should be prefered over vec_ld/vec_st, although the latter works when casted to float/Packet4f.
Silencing some weird warning with throw but some GCC versions. Such warning are not thrown by Clang.
If no offset is given, them it should be zero.
Also passes full address to vec_vsx_ld/st builtins.
Removes userless _EIGEN_ALIGNED_PTR & _EIGEN_MASK_ALIGNMENT.
Removes unnecessary casts.
The change caused the device struct to be copied for each expression evaluation, and caused, e.g., a 10% regression in the TensorFlow multinomial op on GPU:

Adding the EIGEN_DEVICE_FUNC attribute resolves those errors
* Modifying TensorDeviceSYCL to use `EIGEN_THROW_X`.
* Modifying TensorMacro to use `EIGEN_TRY/CATCH(X)` macro.
* Modifying TensorReverse.h to use `EIGEN_DEVICE_REF` instead of `&`.
* Fixing the SYCL device macro in SpecialFunctionsImpl.h.
* Abstracting the pointer type so that both SYCL memory and pointer can be captured.
* Converting SYCL virtual pointer to SYCL device memory in Eigen evaluator class.
* Binding SYCL placeholder accessor to command group handler by using bind method in Eigen evaluator node.
* Adding SYCL macro for controlling loop unrolling.
* Modifying the TensorDeviceSycl.h and SYCL executor method to adopt the above changes.
* Abstracting the pointer type so that both SYCL memory and pointer can be captured.
* Converting SYCL virtual pointer to SYCL device memory in Eigen evaluator class.
* Binding SYCL placeholder accessor to command group handler by using bind method in Eigen evaluator node.

* Modifying the TensorDeviceSycl.h and SYCL executor method to adopt the above changes.
1. Fix buggy pcmp_eq and unit test for half types.
2. Add unit test for pselect and add specializations for SSE 4.1, AVX512, and half types.
3. Get rid of FIXME: Implement faster pnegate for half by XOR'ing with a sign bit mask.
* an interface for SYCL buffers to behave as a non-dereferenceable pointer
* an interface for placeholder accessor to behave like a pointer on both host and device
