Finds kernel files and include directives whose filename is kernel.cl, Verilog.cl, or VHDL.cl. The check is case insensitive.

Such kernel file names cause the offline compiler to generate intermediate design files that have the same names as certain internal files, which leads to a compilation error.

Based on the Guidelines for Naming the Kernel section in the Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL Pro Edition: Programming Guide.
