0ab3edd87d Add VecFlat class
`vtkm::VecFlat` is a wrapper around a `Vec`-like class that may be a
nested series of vectors. For example, if you run a gradient operation
on a vector field, you are probably going to get a `Vec` of `Vec`s that
looks something like `vtkm::Vec<vtkm::Vec<vtkm::Float32, 3>, 3>`. That
is fine, but what if you want to treat the result simply as a `Vec` of
size 9?

The `VecFlat` wrapper class allows you to do this. Simply place the
nested `Vec` as an argument to `VecFlat` and it will behave as a flat
`Vec` class. (In fact, `VecFlat` is a subclass of `Vec`.) The `VecFlat`
class can be copied to and from the nested `Vec` it is wrapping.

There is a `vtkm::make_VecFlat` convenience function that takes an
object and returns a `vtkm::VecFlat` wrapped around it.
