[Feature Request] Use vulkaninfo or glxinfo over clinfo on linux.  #786

Description

@BananaWorks07

Describe the bug
Most users won't have compute drivers installed, since there is no use for them on most systems, this leads to gpu info not being reported. On the other hand, vulkan is used by almost everyone under linux, and returns accurate/good information about the current GPU, so why not use vulkaninfo/glxinfo instead? (vulkaninfo can even output a json!)

it wasn't a good idea to use clinfo, most people don't have it installed, it reports incorrect information in a lot of cases, vulkaninfo/glxinfo are simply better.
