[OpenCL] Makes kernels use the SPIR_KERNEL CC by default.

Rationale: OpenCL kernels are called via an explicit runtime API
with arguments set with clSetKernelArg(), not as normal sub-functions.
Return SPIR_KERNEL by default as the kernel calling convention to ensure
the fingerprint is fixed such way that each OpenCL argument gets one
matching argument in the produced kernel function argument list to enable
feasible implementation of clSetKernelArg() with aggregates etc. In case
we would use the default C calling conv here, clSetKernelArg() might
break depending on the target-specific conventions; different targets
might split structs passed as values to multiple function arguments etc.
