Development update for past two weeks

• Added support for Image accessors.
• Added Windows configuration to CI system
• Added FPGA memory attributes support for static variables

Ronan: it would be better to re-use clang annotate attribute and remove FPGA specific attributes.

• Added depends_on handler method to maintain dependencies between SYCL kernels in USM mode
• -L<dir> now can be used to find libraries with -foffload-static-lib
• A lot of bug fixes and improvements - see https://github.com/intel/llvm/releases/tag/2019-08 description for more details.

Khronos SYCL CTS status

• 100% of SYCL CTS tests are passing on Intel OpenCL CPU and GPU devices
• SYCL host device is not fully functional
