c029ac113d Expose the Variant helper class
For several versions, VTK-m has had a `Variant` templated class. This acts
like a templated union where the object will store one of a list of types
specified as the template arguments. (There are actually 2 versions for the
control and execution environments, respectively.)

Because this is a complex class that required several iterations to work
through performance and compiler issues, `Variant` was placed in the
`internal` namespace to avoid complications with backward compatibility.
However, the class has been stable for a while, so let us expose this
helpful tool for wider use.

ad1e7b5bdb Add module mechanism
This mechanism sets up CMake variables that allow a user to select which
modules/libraries to create. Dependencies will be tracked down to ensure
that all of a module's dependencies are also enabled.

The modules are also arranged into groups.
Groups allow you to set the enable flag for a group of modules at once.
Thus, if you have several modules that are likely to be used together,
you can create a group for them.

This can be handy in converting user-friendly CMake options (such as
`VTKm_ENABLE_RENDERING`) to the modules that enable that by pointing to
the appropriate group.
