56bec1dd7b Replace basic ArrayHandle implementation to use Buffers
This encapsulates a lot of the required memory management into the
Buffer object and related code.

Many now unneeded classes were deleted.

8f7b0d18be Add Buffer class
The buffer class encapsulates the movement of raw C arrays between
host and devices.

The `Buffer` class itself is not associated with any device. Instead,
`Buffer` is used in conjunction with a new templated class named
`DeviceAdapterMemoryManager` that can allocate data on a given
device and transfer data as necessary. `DeviceAdapterMemoryManager`
will eventually replace the more complicated device adapter classes
that manage data on a device.

The code in `DeviceAdapterMemoryManager` is actually enclosed in
virtual methods. This allows us to limit the number of classes that
need to be compiled for a device. Rather, the implementation of
`DeviceAdapterMemoryManager` is compiled once with whatever compiler
is necessary, and then the `RuntimeDeviceInformation` is used to
get the correct object instance.
