AMD Updates Propreitary AMDGPU-Pro Driver

AMD has released an update to their closed source AMDGPU-Pro driver in version 17.20. From what I can gather it adds supportr for Vega Frontier GPUs. No benchmarks available yet so unsure if it will do anything else besides new GPU support.

Phoronix has benchmarks of the 17.2 driver now. Not much of any gains over 17.10
