Teach jobs to load the environment for a specific MSVC version, and tag
them accordingly. This allows runners to have multiple versions of MSVC
installed without requiring us to compile on the newer ones right away.
The runners provide the VS 2019 location in a `VS160COMNTOOLS`
environment variable. Use it to avoid requiring a specific VS edition.

Some organizations use a firewall that intercepts SSL communications and
replaces the authentication token with an organization-wide token that
is just supposed to be accepted. Browsers can be locally configured for
this intentional trickery, but it's a little more tricky for the use of
`curl` in a batch script that is shared with external collaborators.
The easiest solution is to just disable the security for the `curl`
download. This makes the script more susceptible to "man in the middle"
attacks, but it's probably easier to just slip malware in the public
repos anyway.
When VTK compiles VTK-m for inclusion as an accelerator library, it sets
an option to compile filters and other components for a different (and
expanded) set of common types. We should test this configuration.
To simplify reproducing docker based CI workers locally, VTK-m has python program that handles all the
work automatically for you.
The program is located in `[Utilities/CI/reproduce_ci_env.py ]` and requires python3 and pyyaml.
To use the program is really easy! The following two commands will create the `build:rhel8` gitlab-ci
worker as a docker image and setup a container just as how gitlab-ci would be before the actual
compilation of VTK-m. Instead of doing the compilation, instead you will be given an interactive shell.
```
./reproduce_ci_env.py create rhel8
./reproduce_ci_env.py run rhel8
```
To compile VTK-m from the the interactive shell you would do the following:
```
> src]# cd build/
> build]# cmake --build .
```
