Cycles: Remove support of AMD Vega GPUs for 4.3 and onwards

Hi,

Sorry for bringing such update on a short notice. We had to disable Vega GPUs support for Cycles HIP rendering. The reasoning for this is an accumulated list of bugs which can not be resolved from Blender or Cycles side and require fixes in the compilers toolchains. Unfortunately, there is no official support of these GPUs in ROCm anymore, so it is completely out of our control.

Sorry for asking, but what that really means. I should not update to Blender 4.3? I will not be able to GPU render but yes CPU?, sell my kidneys?, anything else?, my GPU is a Radeon Pro Vega 56.

You can always render on CPU Cycles, and GPU Eevee. The change is only making it so you can not render on GPU Cycles if you have Vega card.
