Previously, the `Allocate` method of `ArrayHandle` was _not_ declared as
`const`. Likewise, the methods that depended on `Allocate`, namely
`ReleaseResources` and `PrepareForOutput` were also not declared `const`.
The main consequence of this was that if an `ArrayHandle` were passed as a
constant reference argument to a method (e.g. `const ArrayHandle<T>& arg`),
then the array could not be reallocated.
This seems right at first blush. However, we have changed these methods to
be `const` so that you can in fact reallocate the `ArrayHandle`. This is
because the `ArrayHandle` is in principle a pointer to an array pointer.
Such a structure in C will allow you to change the pointer to the array,
and so in this context it makes sense for `ArrayHandle` to support that as
well.
Although this distinction will certainly be confusing to users, we think
this change is correct for a variety of reasons.
1. This change makes the behavior of `ArrayHandle` consistent with the
behavior of `UnknownArrayHandle`. The latter needed this behavior to
allow `ArrayHandle`s to be passed as output arguments to methods that
get automatically converted to `UnknownArrayHandle`.
2. Before this change, a `const ArrayHandle&` was still multible is many
way. In particular, it was possible to change the data in the array
even if the array could not be resized. You could still call things
like `WritePortal` and `PrepareForInOut`. The fact that you could
change it for some things and not others was confusing. The fact that
you could call `PrepareForInOut` but not `PrepareForOutput` was doubly
confusing.
3. Passing a value by constant reference should be the same, from the
calling code's perspective, as passing by value. Although the function
can change an argument passed by value, that change is not propogated
back to the calling code. However, in the case of `ArrayHandle`,
calling by value would allow the array to be reallocated from the
calling side whereas a constant reference would prevent that. This
change makes the two behaviors consistent.
4. The supposed assurance that the `ArrayHandle` would not be reallocated
was easy to break even accidentally. If the `ArrayHandle` was assigned
to another `ArrayHandle` (for example as a class' member or wrapped
inside of an `UnknownArrayHandle`), then the array was free to be
reallocated.
Added the following form of `ArrayCopy`:
```cpp
VTKM_CONT_EXPORT void ArrayCopy(
const vtkm::cont::UnknownArrayHandle& source,
const vtkm::cont::UnknownArrayHandle& destination);
```
Note that the destination array is a constant reference. This is
actually OK because you can change the contents of an
`UnknownArrayHandle` (as long as you don't change the array being
referenced). The main motivation for this change is to allow you to call
this form of `ArrayCopy` while passing in a `ArrayHandle` as the second
argument. C++ will automatically make the conversion, but the function
has to accept a const reference for it to be passed correctly.
Note that there is still a form of `ArrayCopy` that accepts a non-const
reference to the destination array. The two arrays behave the same
except for one difference. For the non-const version, if the
`UnknownArrayHandle` does not already point to an array (i.e. is not
valid), a new array will be created and placed in the destination
object. However, because this cannot be done for a const reference, an
exception is thrown instead.

By default, the `FilterDataSet` class will iterate over all fields and
use `CastAndCall` on each one to call the subclass' mapping function
with the appropriate array type.
This only works if the array is of a known type. If it is not
`CastAndCall` throws an exception. However, having the entire filter
exception out just because one field cannot be converted does not make
sense. Instead, catch the exception, log a warning, and drop the field.
The reason why we did not support shared libraries when CUDA compiles
were on is that virtual methods require a special linking step to pull
together all virtual methods that might be called. I other words, you
cannot call a virtual CUDA method defined inside a library. This
requirement goes away when virtuals are removed.
Also removed the necessity of using seprable compilation with cuda.
Again, this is only needed when a CUDA function is defined in one
translation unit and used in another. Now we can enforce that all
translation units define their own CUDA functions.
Also, suppress warnings in cuda/internal/ExecutionPolicy.h
This is where we call the thrust algorithms. There must be some loop
where it, on some code path, calls back a host function. This must be in
an execution path that never happens. The thrust version has its own
suppress, but that does not seem to actually suppress the warning (it
just means that the warning does not tell you where the actual call is).
Get around the problem by suppressing the warnings in VTK-m.

`RuntimeDeviceConfiguration` is supposed to log a warning if a specific
device returns a non-success status other than simply an invalid option.
However, the condition was wrong and warnings never happened.
In VTK-m we have a constant tension between minimizing the number of
types we have to compile for (to reduce compile times and library size)
and maximizing the number of types that our filters support.
Unfortunately, if you don't compile a filter for a specific array type
(value type and storage), trying to run that filter will simply fail.
To compromise between the two, added methods to `DataSet` and `Field`
that will automatically convert the data in the `Field` arrays to a type
that VTK-m will understand. Although this will cause an extra data copy,
it will at least prevent the program from failing, and thus make it more
feasible to reduce types.
The `MeshQuality` filter only worked with `CellSetExplicit<>`. However,
`MeshQuality` should also work with `CellSetSingleType`. Fix
`MeshQuality` to work with both.
The handling of cell sets was actually worse than that. After forcing
the type to `CellSetExplicit<>`, it then applied a policy that converted
the types back to all possible cell sets. Thus, the filter made lots of
code paths that were impossible to follow.

In one of the dashboards, we got a link error about one of the
UnknownArrayHandle internal methods being discarded and then used. Add
an explicit `__attribute__((used))` modifier to prevent this from
happening.
The `ArrayCopy` was simply calling `IsOnDevice` to see if the array from
the `UnknownArrayHandle` was on a device. Seems right, but it is
actually operating on an `ArrayHandleRecombineVec`. This is a special
array that mostly behaves like other `ArrayHandle`s, but because it has
variable vec size, it breaks some `ArrayHandle` conventions.
One of the iffy things it has to do is stick the dependent `Buffer`
objects into the metadata of its own `Buffer` rather than list them in
the `Buffer` list. This means that `ArrayHandle` cannot properly check
them to see where they are located. Instead, it just sees that the one
`Buffer` it has is empty.
A recent change to `IsOnDevice` made it return true for any device if
the `Buffer` is empty. So previously this was broken in that it reported
that the array was not on any device. That changed to report that it was
on all devices, even inactive ones. So the code went from not
efficiently copying to throwing an exception.
This has been fixed by pulling one of the dependent arrays and checking
that one.
