IPP can be switched on and off on runtime;
Optional implementation collector was added (switched off by default in CMake). Gathers data of implementation used in functions and report this info through performance TS;
TS modifications for implementations control;
1. decrease branch number in CL code by replacing them into weights
2. decrease local mem pressure in reduce operation by using private variables
3. decrease image sampler pressure by caching data into local memory
4. remove unnecessary sync point on the HOST side.
