Tobias Grosser 7d136d952e [tests] Specify the dependence to NVPTX backend for Polly ACC test cases
Some Polly ACC test cases fail without a working NVPTX backend. We explicitly
specify this dependence in REQUIRES. Alternatively, we could have only marked
polly-acc as supported in case the NVPTX backend is available, but as we might
use other backends in the future, this does not seem to be the best choice.

For this to work, we also need to make the 'targets_to_build' information
available.

Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM
-----------------------------------------
http://polly.llvm.org/

Polly uses a mathematical representation, the polyhedral model, to represent and
transform loops and other control flow structures. Using an abstract
representation it is possible to reason about transformations in a more general
way and to use highly optimized linear programming libraries to figure out the
optimal loop structure. These transformations can be used to do constant
propagation through arrays, remove dead loop iterations, optimize loops for
cache locality, optimize arrays, apply advanced automatic parallelization, drive
vectorization, or they can be used to do software pipelining.
