Description
It would be nice if we could do something like KernelAbstractions.devices(backend) or so to print the name of the device we're working on.
And even further: a KernelAbstractions.versioninfo(backend) to print the CUDA version and so on. This could be very useful for logging.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing backend interface in KernelAbstractions.jl and how backend-specific device and version details are exposed. Define the scope and output for vendor-agnostic devices(backend) and versioninfo(backend), then add coverage showing that the information can be used for logging across supported backends.
