Test needed for AMD Docker

[adamradocz]

Unlike the Nvidia and Intel Dockers, the AMD OpenCL docker doesn't contain the AMD OpenCL Driver, therefore I'm sure it's not working.

Unfortunately, I don't have AMD Radeon GPU to update and test it.

I updated the AMD Docker, it just has to be tested.
I couldn't test it, because I don't have AMD GPU, but I merged it, because the older version definitely was not working, so this commit could help the situation not worsen.

Good by me, thanks for doing all this stuff, sorry I've been too busy to really help. By the way, I tried to find your email so I could send you a message about the BOINC Workshop next week, but couldn't. Can you send me an email, you can see mind by just clicking on my Github profile then my website. Thanks!

@adamradocz I have macBook with AMD Radeon... Is that can acceptable use case? I've never run docker on macOS, but willing to give it a try. Is Collatz Conjecture okay for GPU? I've run tasks on the macBook Pro successfully using the macOS BOINC client.

Unfortunately MacOS not supported by ROCm.
ROCm/ROCm#262

I've been using it for a while on an RX 580, kernel 4.18, and it seems to work fine for Einstein@Home. Milkyway gives an error on every GPU job, but that might be their issue: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=4185

Thanks for your work in supporting it!

@Pneumaticat thanks for the feedback.

I think the addig yourself to the video group is unnecessary: 'sudo usermod -a -G video $LOGNAME'

If you could confirm, it would be awesome.

@adamradocz No problem!

I can't test that (I'm on NixOS, so I can't change the groups I'm in, plus I think it would break my GUI setup), but I can see no reason why it should be necessary, as BOINC doesn't run as your user in the docker container anyway, and plus you add --group-add video already to docker run.

Also, I don't think that the host technically has to install the ROCm userspace driver either, as it is installed in the Docker image. (At least, I haven't had to install it, and BOINC still works fine.) I believe the host only needs the kernel component, and according to Phoronix, any mainline kernel >4.17 will also work, as it has the driver built in.

So really, all the user needs is an up-to-date kernel ;)

EDIT: Actually, I can indeed confirm that the video group is unnecessary, at least for me, because my user isn't even in the video group normally.
