These changes now allow VTK-m to compile on CUDA 7.5 by using const arrays,
when compiling with CUDA 8+ support we upgrade to static const arrays, and
lastly when CUDA is disabled we fully elevate to static constexpr.
If a global static array is declared with VTKM_EXEC_CONSTANT and the code
is compiled by nvcc (for multibackend code) then the array is only accesible
on the GPU. If for some reason a worklet fails on the cuda backend and it is
re-executed on any of the CPU backends, it will continue to fail.
We couldn't find a simple way to declare the array once and have it available
on both CPU and GPU. The approach we are using here is to declare the arrays
as static inside some "Get" function which is marked as VTKM_EXEC_CONT.
