Use unsecure loading when loading xclbin files

This avoids the need to be root when running designs.

Can you please just delete absolutely everything in run_on_ipu.sh except for that export

Baby steps I think... this will help the immediate CI situation, so that's my main goal at the moment.

There is no "we" - there will always be multiple versions of the driver floating around that we don't control/own. Best practices actually dictates we have multiple versions of the driver (a sliding window around some "lowest common denominator") always being tested but 🤷 .

"we" meaning the repo requiring a certain version, if someone wants something else, well we can't guarantee it works

@jgmelber, please clarify, since I got a different answer the other day.

1. What version do you expect to run at ASPLOS?
2. What versions do we intend to CI (assuming this includes 1)
3. What versions do we expect to work (assuming this includes 2)

You're right this is the opposite answer from before but after that discussion I built and verified the latest kernel and xdna-driver.

I'm using linux 6.8-rc2 and xdna-driver@37961e1 for ASPLOS. I'm planning to update the dev mini PCs once the demo PCs are done. @fifield discussed updating the CI.
