`vtkm::cont::Error` inherits from `std::exception`. As such, it has a
special `what` string that reports an error message in a standard way.
This is particularly useful when a `vtkm::cont::Error` exception remains
uncaught because the system will print the `what` string before
crashing.
Unfortunately, the `what` string was only being set in the `Error`
constructor that took a message. That is a problem for subclasses like
`ErrorCuda` that used the default constructor and then used
`SetMessage`. The `what` string did not get set in this case.
Change the behavior to capture the stack trace in the default
constructor and update the `what` string if a subclass uses
`SetMessage`.
Adding a new exception type `vtkm::cont::ErrorFilterExecution`. Unlike
existing exceptions, when thrown in `TryExecute`, this exception causes
the call to not attempt to execute on any other devices and let it be
thrown so that the application can catch it.

accordingly.
- Exception classes cannot be exported due to MSVC's design decisions.
See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24511376. We must leave these
classes as header only and silence the warnings.
- TransferResource in BufferState.h must remain a header-only class since
there is no vtkm_interop library to compile the class into.
- The VTKDataSetReader hierarchy must similarly remain header-only since
there is no vtkm_io library.
- The OptionParser Action classes are part of a header-only utility and
cannot be easily compiled into a library.

If Error.h was loaded before windows.h on windows compilers, then it
happily defined GetMessage and then GetMessageA and GetMessageB. However,
if the load order was reversed, then GetMessage is a macro that changes
it to GetMessageA or GetMessageB and you get an error about the same
method being declared twice.
Get around the problem by not defining GetMessage if it is already
declared as a macro.
We made this change a while ago to help with completion in IDEs.
(Completion was matching a bunch of wrapper macros that were almost
never used anywhere.) Most of the changes are in comments, but there are
a few bad macro definitions.
