1. Add option to copy user supplied array in make_ArrayHandle.
2. Replace Field constructors that take user supplied arrays with make_Field.
3. Replace CoordinateSystem constructors that take user supplied arrays with
make_CoordinateSystem.

Following what was done with ArrayRangeCompute, the GetRange and
GetBounds methods are embedded into the vtkm_cont library for the most
common type lists.
Also, and probably more importantly, the device adapter is no longer one
of the arguments for either of these methods. It is no longer needed as
ArrayRangeCompute no longer needs it.
Most uses of ArrayRangeCompute just want to get the range of the data
and probably don't have a particular device in mind. Thus, it is better
to use a TryExecute internally use whatever devices are available.
Note that when using TryExecute, the calling code is expected to be able
to support all devices. That might not always be the case. Thus, I am
experimenting a bit with how we incorporate this in a library. The
advantage of having the code compiled in a library is that you only have
to compile it once and the calling code does not need to worry about
CUDA, etc.
However, because ArrayRangeCompute is templated, we can only pre-compile
some subset of array handle types. The most common are compiled into the
code (matching all the predefined ArrayHandles as well as some special
cases). If the code wants to use some other type, it has to include
ArrayRangeCompute.hxx. The only place where this is necessary is a test
that intentially trys to find the range on an uncommon type.
If array portals were to support virtual methods, then we should be able
to modify this code so that we could precompile for all array handle
types.
Change the VTKM_CONT_EXPORT to VTKM_CONT. (Likewise for EXEC and
EXEC_CONT.) Remove the inline from these macros so that they can be
applied to everything, including implementations in a library.
Because inline is not declared in these modifies, you have to add the
keyword to functions and methods where the implementation is not inlined
in the class.
First, be more explicit when we mean a range of values in a field or a
spacial bounds. Use the Range and Bounds structs in Field and
CoordinateSystem to make all of this more clear (and reduce a bit of
code as well).
