This method was deprecated because it was not well explained in the
documentation nor was it used in VTK-m or Ascent. However, it is used in
VTK, and VTK has a bit more documentation on what this feature is
supposed to do. Thus this feature has been un-deprecated so that it will
continue to stick around. Also, additional documentation is provided to
describe the feature, and the testing has been expanded a bit.
The `ExtractGeometry` filter was outputing datasets containing
`CellSetPermutation` as the representation for the cells. Although this is
technically correct and a very fast implementation, it is essentially
useless. The problem is that any downstream processing will have to know
that the data has a `CellSetPermutation`. None do (because the permutation
can be on any other cell set type, which creates an explosion of possible
cell types).
Like was done with `Threshold` a while ago, this problem is fixed by deep
copying the result into a `CellSetExplicit`. This behavior is consistent
with VTK.
The `CellMeasures` and `MeshQuality` filters had constructors that took the
metric that the filter should generate. However, this is different than the
iterface of the rest of the filters. To make the interface more consistent,
these filters now have a default (no argument) constructor, and the metric
to compute is selected via a method. This makes it more clear what is being
done.
In addition, the documentation for these two classes is updated.

The original design of the filter base class required several specialized
base classes to control what information was pulled from the input
`DataSet` and provided to the derived class. Since the filter base class was
redesigned, the derived classes all get a `DataSet` and pull their own
information from it. Thus, most specialized filter base classes became
unnecessary and removed.
The one substantial exception was the `FilterField`. This filter base class
managed input and output arrays. This was kept separate from the base
`Filter` because not all filters need the ability to select this
information.
That said, this separation has not been particularly helpful. There are
several other features of `Filter` that does not apply to all subclasses.
Furthermore, there are several derived filters that are using `FilterField`
merely to pick a single part, like selecting a coordinate system, and
ignoring the rest of the abilities.
Thus, it makes more sense to deprecate `FilterField` and have these classes
inherit directly from `Filter`.
The flying edges version of the contouring filter converted the isovalues
provided into the same type as the field. This is fine for a floating point
field, but for an integer field the isovalue was truncated to the nearest
integer.
This is problematic because it is common to provide a fractional isovalue
(usually N + 0.5) for integer fields to avoid degenerate cases of the
contour intersecting vertices. It also means the behavior changes between
an integer type that is directly supported (like a `signed char`) or an
integer type that is not directly supported and converted to a floating
point field (like potentially a `char`).
This change updates the worklets to allow the isovalue to have a different
type than the field and to always use a floating point type for the
isovalue.
Threshold was producing wrong results with options `SetAllInRange(false)` and
`SetComponentToTestToAll` because the logic of running
`worklet::Threshold::RunIncremental` on individual components of the input
field and combining the results is incorrect for this case.
With this fix, component modes 'Any' and 'All' are handled by applying
the threshold criteria to each component of each value of the field,
combining the results, and running the threshold worklet on the result
array.
In reflection, the `WarpScalar` filter is surprisingly a superset of the
`WarpVector` features. `WarpScalar` has the ability to displace in the
directions of the mesh normals. In VTK, there is a distinction of normals
to vectors, but in VTK-m it is a matter of selecting the correct one. As
such, it makes little sense to have two separate implementations for the
same operation. The filters have been combined and the interface names have
been generalized for general warping (e.g., "normal" or "vector" becomes
"direction").
In addition to consolidating the implementation, the `Warp` filter
implementation has been updated to use the modern features of VTK-m's
filter base classes. In particular, when the `Warp` filters were originally
implemented, the filter base classes did not support more than one active
scalar field, so filters like `Warp` had to manage multiple fields
themselves. The `FilterField` base class now allows specifying multiple,
indexed active fields, and the updated implementation uses this to manage
the input vectors and scalars.
The `Warp` filters have also been updated to directly support constant
vectors and scalars, which is common for `WarpScalar` and `WarpVector`,
respectively. Previously, to implement a constant field, you had to add a
field containing an `ArrayHandleConstant`. This is still supported, but an
easier method of just selecting constant vectors or scalars makes this
easier.
Internally, the implementation now uses tricks with extracting array
components to support many different array types (including
`ArrayHandleConstant`. This allows it to simultaneously interact with
coordinates, directions, and scalars without creating too many template
instances.

The `AmrArrays` filter generates some cell fields that specify information
about the hierarchy, which are constant across all cells in a partition.
These were previously stored as an array with the same value throughout.
Now, the field is stored as an `ArrayHandleConstant`, which does not
require any real storage. Recent changes to VTK-m allow code to extract the
array as a component efficiently without knowing the storage type.

Previously, Clip was updated to remove unused points from the input.
This requires a re-mapping of point ids after compaction. This
re-mapping was missed for the points used for interpolation of centorid
points.
The flying edges algorithm (used when contouring uniform structured cell
sets) was not interpolating cell fields correctly. There was an indexing
issue where a shortcut in the stepping was not incrementing the cell index.
There was a bug in `CleanGrid` when removing degenerate polygons where it
would not detect if the first and last point were the same. This has been
fixed.
There was also an error with function overloading that was causing 0D and
3D cells to enter the wrong computation for degenerate cells. This has also
been fixed.
Fixes#796
