The MIOpen integration has changed over the years. In the past, the MIOpen default for benchmark was True and if it were set to False it would use MIOpen Immediate Mode. But with #145294 the MIOpen benchmark default changed to False and to activate immediate mode you would set the deterministic flag to True. This has proved too restrictive because benchmark and deterministic flags are independent from immediate mode. Thus, immediate mode needs its own flag. Though MIOpen still masquerades behind torch.backends.cudnn and its flags, it seemed inappropriate to add an miopen-exclusive flag to the set of cudnn flags. This PR adds the first miopen-only flag to control its immediate mode.
