Virtual methods are being deprecated, so remove their use from the
ColorTable classes. Instead of using a virtual method to look up a value
in the ColorTable, we essentially use a switch statement. This change
also simplified the code quite a bit.
The execution object used to use pointers to handle the virtual objects.
That is no longer necessary, so a simple `vtkm::exec::ColorTable` is
returned for execution objects. (Note that this `ColorTable` contains
pointers that are specific for the particular device.) This is a non-
backward compabible change. However, the only place (outside of the
`ColorTable` implementation itself) was a single worklet for converting
scalars to colors (`vtkm::worklet::colorconversion::TransferFunction`).
This is unlikely to affect anyone.
I also "fixed" some names in enum structs. There has been some
inconsistencies in VTK-m on whether items in an enum struct are
capitolized or camel case. We seem to moving toward camel case, so
deprecate some old names.
The testing helper class provided a method named `GetTestDataBasePath`
that returned the base path to all the data files stored in the VTK-m
repo. This is fine, but it was a little cumbersome to build filenames.
To make things easier, there is now a new method named `DataPath` that
takes a string of the filename (or, rather, subpath) to the file in that
directory and automatically builds the path to it.
We have made several improvements to adding data into an `ArrayHandle`.
## Moving data from an `std::vector`
For numerous reasons, it is convenient to define data in a `std::vector`
and then wrap that into an `ArrayHandle`. It is often the case that an
`std::vector` is filled and then becomes unused once it is converted to an
`ArrayHandle`. In this case, what we really want is to pass the data off to
the `ArrayHandle` so that the `ArrayHandle` is now managing the data and
not the `std::vector`.
C++11 has a mechanism to do this: move semantics. You can now pass
variables to functions as an "rvalue" (right-hand value). When something is
passed as an rvalue, it can pull state out of that variable and move it
somewhere else. `std::vector` implements this movement so that an rvalue
can be moved to another `std::vector` without actually copying the data.
`make_ArrayHandle` now also takes advantage of this feature to move rvalue
`std::vector`s.
There is a special form of `make_ArrayHandle` named `make_ArrayHandleMove`
that takes an rvalue. There is also a special overload of
`make_ArrayHandle` itself that handles an rvalue `vector`. (However, using
the explicit move version is better if you want to make sure the data is
actually moved.)
## Make `ArrayHandle` from initalizer list
A common use case for using `std::vector` (particularly in our unit tests)
is to quickly add an initalizer list into an `ArrayHandle`. Now you can
by simply passing an initializer list to `make_ArrayHandle`.
## Deprecated `make_ArrayHandle` with default shallow copy
For historical reasons, passing an `std::vector` or a pointer to
`make_ArrayHandle` does a shallow copy (i.e. `CopyFlag` defaults to `Off`).
Although more efficient, this mode is inherintly unsafe, and making it the
default is asking for trouble.
To combat this, calling `make_ArrayHandle` without a copy flag is
deprecated. In this way, if you wish to do the faster but more unsafe
creation of an `ArrayHandle` you should explicitly express that.
This requried quite a few changes through the VTK-m source (particularly in
the tests).
## Similar changes to `Field`
`vtkm::cont::Field` has a `make_Field` helper function that is similar to
`make_ArrayHandle`. It also features the ability to create fields from
`std::vector`s and C arrays. It also likewise had the same unsafe behavior
by default of not copying from the source of the arrays.
That behavior has similarly been depreciated. You now have to specify a
copy flag.
The ability to construct a `Field` from an initializer list of values has
also been added.

`CoordinateSystem` differed from `Field` in that its `GetData`
method returned an `ArrayHandleVirtualCoordinates` instead of
a `VariantArrayHandle`. This is probably confusing since
`CoordianteSystem` inherits `Field` and has a pretty dramatic
difference in this behavior.
In preparation to deprecate `ArrayHandleVirtualCoordinates`, this
changes `CoordiantSystem` to be much more like `Field`. (In the
future, we may change the `CoordinateSystem` to point to a `Field`
rather than be a special `Field`.)
A method named `GetDataAsMultiplexer` has been added to
`CoordinateSystem`. This method allows you to get data from
`CoordinateSystem` as a single array type without worrying
about creating functors to handle different types and without
needing virtual methods.
The VS compiler gives a warning when you override a deprecated method.
Changed the StartScene and EndScene methods in Mapper to be non-virtual
with empty implementations. Deleted the corresponding methods from all
subclasses.
Updated the image reader classes to better follow VTK-m naming
convention (i.e. use `ImageReaderPNG` instead of `PNGReader`).
The structure of the image reader class now also better matches
the interface for the VTK reader.
Also put the implementation of the image readers into the `vtkm_io`
library so that it only has to be compiled once.
