Julia 1.0 support

Merge pull request #172 from sambitdash/master

Additional fixes for Julia 1.0 support as well as failures on OpenCL 1.1

drop 0.5 + better generic conversion in set kernel arg

less complicated kernel arg convert....
Now one just needs to use pack structs and set kernel arg will automatically replace cl_inbuild types that have a different size from julia types (e.g. NTuple{3, Float32} or Void). One might still need to specify the alignment in a cl struct on the kernel to match julia layout.

v0.6.1

• support all pointerfee dt as arguments to OpenCL kernels
• fix bug in error display handling

v0.6.0

• proper reference counting of contexts
• correct struct conversions for __packed__ opencl structs

v0.5.2

Various improvements:

• compilation errors give a proper report now!
• set_arg! works for for more than primitive types now

v0.5.1

• Deprecation fixes for v0.4 (thanks to @yuyichao)
