sycl : Fix get mem error (llama/28227)

* fix for unsupport zes API * optimize the code * adjust the log level * rm unused head files * Update docs/backend/SYCL.md Co-authored-by: Titaniumtown <titaniumtown@proton.me> * fix the error to detect level zero SDK/dev package, stop build after detect the error * update the message * fix the build error when missed to install level zero dev package * rm GGML_SYCL_DEV_DEBUG, mv read env vars in all entry functions --------- Co-authored-by: Neo Zhang Jianyu <jianyu.zhang@intel.com> Co-authored-by: Titaniumtown <titaniumtown@proton.me> Co-authored-by: Neo Zhang <NA>
