Base `cl3` on a fork of `cl-sys` as it is no longer actively maintained.

@vmx proposed creating a fork of cl-sys (cl3-sys?) in issue kenba/opencl3#30 in the opencl3 repo.
The rational is that cl-sys is no longer actively maintained.
This would involve making a new ffi repo, fixing bugs in the cl-sys repo, adding new OpenCL features and attempting to handle features properly between the new repo, this repo and the opencl3 repo.
Now would be a good time to do this since Rust is stable at Edition 2021 and the OpenCl SDK is also relatively stable.
However, I would appreciate Volke's help to design and debug the changes.
@kenba sorry for the delay. I'm currently pretty busy and probably will be the next few weeks. Though I still think it would be great to fork cl3-sys. As a first step I'd probably wouldn't change much. Probably just fixing the issues that are mentioned on the original repo (like your bug reports there).
@vmx no problem, there is no hurry. I just wanted to tie up "loose ends" on these libraries.
I used bindgen and cl-sys to create a repo for a new crate at: opencl-sys-rs with the intention of using the crate opencl-sys which doesn't contain anything and hasn't been updated for 4 years! I'm currently waiting for the current owner to respond to my request to add me as an owner...
