This commit deletes speculative comments which were self-merged with
no approvals in PR #275947.

If you think that "The above 'fix' may be incorrect" the correct
response is to submit a PR which removes the 'fix' and get it reviewed.

Likewise, if you think that "For clang it's not necessary" you
should submit a PR which wraps it in `if !isClang`.

`cc-wrapper` is full of too much junk as it is, let's not make
things worse.
PR #275947, which was self-merged without approvals, inserted
functionality specific to a propriteary closed-source compiler
(CUDA) into cc-wrapper.

This commit relocates this CUDA-specific functionality into the
appropritate place: `cuda-modules`.

It is unclear to me exactly what this function is supposed to be
doing; much of it (like the `.kind` attributes) do not appear to be
used *anywhere* in nixpkgs.  Making sure we don't insert unexplained
deadcode like this is one of the important functions of the review
process.
