Description
After updating to ctranslate2 4.7.0 on Windows with an NVIDIA GPU, importing the library fails with:
[WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\ctranslate2/../_rocm_sdk_core/bin'
The library appears to be checking for AMD ROCm SDK paths during initialization, even on systems with NVIDIA GPUs that have no ROCm installation.
Steps to reproduce:
Fresh Windows install with NVIDIA GPU
pip install ctranslate2==4.7.0
python -c "import ctranslate2"
Expected behavior:
The library should import successfully on NVIDIA CUDA systems without requiring ROCm paths.
Actual behavior:
Import fails with [WinError 3] because _rocm_sdk_core/bin directory doesn't exist.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the stated Windows NVIDIA setup using the pip install and python -c commands. Inspect the import initialization and packaged dependency paths to find why _rocm_sdk_core/bin is checked; done means ctranslate2 imports successfully without a ROCm installation.
