`vtkm::cont::testing` now initializes with logging enabled and support
for device being passed on the command line, `vtkm::testing` only
enables logging.
The purpose of the TestBuild infrastructure was to confirm that
VTK-m didn't have any lexical issues when it was a pure header
only project. As we now move to have more compiled components
the need for this form of testing is mitigated. Combined
with the issue of TestBuilds causing MSVC issues, we should
just remove this infrastructure.

Fixes issue #276.
OpenMP tests when run in parallel exhibit negative scaling as we
have N openMP processes each spawning N threads. We speculate that
this causes excessive context switching and swapping and reduces
performance.
The OpenMP Device Reduction algorithm previously used a std::vector<T>
to store the reduction results of each thread. This caused problems
when T=bool as the types became a proxy type which isn't usable
with vtkm BinaryOperators.
Additionally by fixing this issue in the FunctorsOpenMP we
can remove a workaround in FunctorsGeneral that caused
compile failures when using complex BinaryOperators
such as MinAndMax.
Having VTKM_EXEC on algorithms for CPU devices was problematic because
the algorithms were specific to the CPU, but during a CUDA compile it
would try to compile device code (for no reasons since it was never
called on a device).
Remove these identifiers for the idea that a device implementation knows
specifically what function modifiers to use and does not need the VTK-m
defined catch-alls.
