During the VTK-m 1.8 and 1.9 development, the filter infrastructure was
overhauled. Part of this created a completely new set of base classes. To
avoid confusion with the original filter base classes and ease transition,
the new filter base classes were named `NewFilter*`. Eventually after all
filters were transitioned, the old filter base classes were deprecated.
With the release of VTK-m 2.0, the old filter base classes are removed. The
"new" filter base classes are no longer new. Thus, they have been renamed
simply `Filter` (and `FilterField`).
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.
The enumerations in `vtkm::cont::Field::Association` were renamed in the
previous commit. The old names still exist, but are deprecated. Change
the rest of the code to use the new names.

This means that the filters in the examples will no longer properly
support the policies handed to them, but that is the direction we are
headed as the policies are now deprecated.
The version of `Filter::Execute` that takes a policy as an argument is now
deprecated. Filters are now able to specify their own fields and types,
which is often why you want to customize the policy for an execution. The
other reason is that you are compiling VTK-m into some other source that
uses a particular types of storage. However, there is now a mechanism in
the CMake configuration to allow you to provide a header that customizes
the "default" types used in filters. This is a much more convenient way to
compile filters for specific types.
One thing that filters were not able to do was to customize what cell sets
they allowed using. This allows filters to self-select what types of cell
sets they support (beyond simply just structured or unstructured). To
support this, the lists `SupportedCellSets`, `SupportedStructuredCellSets`,
and `SupportedUnstructuredCellSets` have been added to `Filter`. When you
apply a policy to a cell set, you now have to also provide the filter.
Consumers of VTK-m when enabling of dropping of unused functions
will see VTK-m functions dropped. Previously this didn't happen
as VTK-m didn't build object files with the correct flags for this.
By allowing the linker to remove unused symbols we see a significant
saving the file size of VTK-m tests, examples, and benchmarks.
An OpenMP build of the tests and benchmarks goes from 168MB to
141MB which is roughly a 16% filesize reduction.
Initially I had presumed that these changes would increase link times.
But in measurements the total wall time for compilation of VTK-m has
stayed about the same ( seeing a decrease of 1.5% ). Presumably the
increased computation is offset by the reduction in file writing.
The `MultiBlock` class has been renamed to `PartitionedDataSet`, and its API
has been refactored to refer to "partitions", rather than "blocks".
Additionally, the `AddBlocks` method has been changed to `AppendPartitions` to
more accurately reflect the operation performed. The associated
`AssignerMultiBlock` class has also been renamed to
`AssignerPartitionedDataSet`.
This change is motivated towards unifying VTK-m's data model with VTK. VTK has
started to move away from `vtkMultiBlockDataSet`, which is a hierarchical tree
of nested datasets, to `vtkPartitionedDataSet`, which is always a flat vector
of datasets used to assist geometry distribution in multi-process environments.
This simplifies traversal during processing and clarifies the intent of the
container: The component datasets are partitions for distribution, not
organizational groupings (e.g. materials).
Ref #405
As the RuntimeDeviceTracker is a per thread construct we now make
it explicit that you can only get a reference to the per-thread
version and can't copy it.
This is a library that contains parts of worklets that can be
precompiled into a library.
Currently, this library contains the implementation of ScatterCounting.
Now that the dispatcher does its own TryExecute, filters do not need to
do that. This change requires all worklets called by filters to be able
to execute without knowing the device a priori.
Rather than force all dispatchers to be templated on a device adapter,
instead use a TryExecute internally within the invoke to select a device
adapter.
Because this removes the need to declare a device when invoking a
worklet, this commit also removes the need to declare a device in
several other areas of the code.
CMake 3.12 introduces a ...<max> syntax in the version given to
cmake_minimum_required to automatically set policies to NEW up
to that version. Use it to avoid listing policies explicitly.

Due to limitations in the CUDA MSBuild support and how CMake stores the language
of a source file, we had to change VTK-m over to using generated .cu files
to signal when we want CUDA compilation.
