Move VTK file readers and writers into vtkm_io

The legacy VTK file reader and writer were created back when VTK-m was a header-only library. Things have changed and we now compile quite a bit of code into libraries. At this point, there is no reason why the VTK file reader/writer should be any different.

Thus, VTKDataSetReader, VTKDataSetWriter, and several supporting classes are now compiled into the vtkm_io library. Also similarly updated BOVDataSetReader for good measure.

As a side effect, code using VTK-m will need to link to vtkm_io if they are using any readers or writers.
