What type of PR is this?

/kind feature

What this PR does / why we need it:

Add support for AMD GPUs. Install AMD GPU Kernel drivers if user didn't specify --skip-gpu-driver install.

AMD Operates differently to NVidia. A kernel driver is required on the host VM. Additionally containers should have ROCm suite installed (which is blowing container size images to 60GB+, but it's on AMD).

With this change .deb packages are cached on the VM, but doesn't install until required (adds about 30MB overhead).
Once installed it takes about 600-1000MB of additional space.

We don't have a reliable quota for the VM SKUs in the test subscription. And VM allocation isn't reliable either.
So automatic testing is disabled until we manage to sort it out somehow.
