Kenneth Moreland 5773ea3e13 Add porting layer for future std features
Currently, VTK-m is using C++11. However, it is often useful to use
features in the `std` namespace that are defined for C++14 or later. We
can provide our own versions (sometimes), but it is preferable to use
the version provided by the compiler if available.

There were already some examples of defining portable versions of C++14
and C++17 classes in a `vtkmstd` namespace, but these were sprinkled
around the source code.

There is now a top level `vtkmstd` directory and in it are header files
that provide portable versions of these future C++ classes. In each
case, preprocessor macros are used to select which version of the class
to use.
