This feature was introduced but is never used anywhere. It is up to the
worklet subclass to determine what to do with the boundaries with the
`BoundaryState` object.
In the future we may have a neighborhood worklet of compile-fixed sized
for better memory access efficiency. If that is the case, we can
reintroduce this idea. We can decide on the right implementation if that
design ever comes to pass.

Reorder the `VTKScalarTypes` to put the repeated types at the bottom.
This will avoid using types like `long` that are essentially the same as
other types (e.g. `long long`) but will still be considered different.
This causes problems when checking against some VTK types (such as
`vtkIdType`).
When calling `NewInstanceBasic` on an `UnknownArrayHandle`, all C base
types will be tried. In some cases, multiple type will match the same
array. When this happens, favor types used by VTK-m (e.g. `long long`
over `long`).
The flying edges version of the contouring filter converted the isovalues
provided into the same type as the field. This is fine for a floating point
field, but for an integer field the isovalue was truncated to the nearest
integer.
This is problematic because it is common to provide a fractional isovalue
(usually N + 0.5) for integer fields to avoid degenerate cases of the
contour intersecting vertices. It also means the behavior changes between
an integer type that is directly supported (like a `signed char`) or an
integer type that is not directly supported and converted to a floating
point field (like potentially a `char`).
This change updates the worklets to allow the isovalue to have a different
type than the field and to always use a floating point type for the
isovalue.
nvcc doesn't like the couple of places that we have Impl classes hiding behind a
private declaration. So for VTKM_CUDA only, ifdef the private declaration out
Adding `0.5` is not correct in all cases. Namely, adding `0.5` will
cause the value immediately before it to be rounded to `1` due to the
"round to nearest even" rule. Trust the standard library to get this
right.
There were some places in the rendering code where floating point
exceptions (FPE) could happen under certain circumstances. Often we do not
care about invalid floating point operation in rendering as they often
occur in degenerate cases that don't contribute anyway. However,
simulations that might include VTK-m might turn on FPE to check their own
operations. In such cases, we don't want errant rendering arithmetic
causing an exception and bringing down the whole code. Thus, we turn on FPE
in some of our test platforms and avoid such operations in general.
