For some context, this PR is setting the stage to support composite devices

It occurred to me that get_devices itself is not supported by dpctl.SyclPlatform, leading to me noticing this long-standing issue.

Deleted rendered PR docs from intelpython.github.com/dpctl, latest should be updated shortly. 🤞

I've made the requested change, and made a change to instead give unknown when the function is provided automatic or custom as device types.

Using these device types would yield the same result as all from pure SYCL code, i.e.,

#include <sycl/sycl.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
   sycl::platform p{};

   auto DTy = sycl::info::device_type::custom;
   size_t n_devs_all = p.get_devices(sycl::info::device_type::all).size();
   size_t n_devs_custom = p.get_devices(sycl::info::device_type::custom).size();

   std::cout << (n_devs_all == n_devs_custom) << std::endl;

   return 0;
}

will always show 1. Same if device_type::automatic is used. It seems that in the compiler, it defaults to all unless cpu, gpu, or accelerator are provided.

To spare user confusion, I think it makes more sense to return empty lists for custom and automatic.
