Replace inplace hipblasXtrmm with out of place hipblasXtrmm

The hipblasXtrmm API, along with batched versions, will be changing in hipBLAS 1.0 release to allow in-place and out-of-place behavior. This change will introduce an output matrix ‘C’, matching the rocblas_xtrmm_outofplace API and the cublasXtrmm API.

Remove packed_int8x4 datatype

The packed_int8x4 datatype will be removed in hipBLAS 1.0. There are two int8 datatypes:

• int8_t

• packed_int8x4

int8_t is the C99 unsigned 8 bit integer. packed_int8x4 has 4 consecutive int8_t numbers in the k dimension packed into 32 bits. packed_int8x4 is only used in hipblasGemmEx. int8_t will continue to be available in hipblasGemmEx.
