I'm not generally against of removing core features set up, but I do have some 
questions and arguments:

> It is correct that the core features should be set unconditionally but not in 
> the TargetInfo

Just to make sure: where do you mean core features should be set 
unconditionally? 

> Setting target features in TargetInfo is correct and should stay. We should 
> not change them here though because the language version doesn't change the

I agree that `TargetInfo `should stay immutable during parsing, but for example 
here, in `TargetInfo::adjust`, current design already allows to change target 
capabilities based on language options, so I don't see what is conceptually 
wrong here.

My main point in proposed design is that it is closer to specification: if 
target reports support for OpenCL C 2.0 then there is no need to extra checking 
for support of //core// features such as 3d image writes (we could also set for 
example generic address space  and pipes as supported unconditionally later) as 
it is core in OpenCL C 2.0. Of course this should not be done silently; some 
diagnostics like fatal error "OpenCL C 2.0 is not supported in this target" or 
warning "core feature cl_khr_3d_image_writes is not supported in this target".
