The `From` and `To` nomenclature for topology mapping has been confusing for
both users and developers, especially at lower levels where the intention of
mapping attributes from one element to another is easily conflated with the
concept of mapping indices (which maps in the exact opposite direction).
These identifiers have been renamed to `VisitTopology` and `IncidentTopology`
to clarify the direction of the mapping. The order in which these template
parameters are specified for `WorkletMapTopology` have also been reversed,
since eventually there may be more than one `IncidentTopology`, and having
`IncidentTopology` at the end will allow us to replace it with a variadic
template parameter pack in the future.
Other implementation details supporting these worklets, include `Fetch` tags,
`Connectivity` classes, and methods on the various `CellSet` classes (such as
`PrepareForInput` have also reversed their template arguments. These will need
to be cautiously updated.
The convenience implementations of `WorkletMapTopology` have been renamed for
clarity as follows:
```
WorkletMapPointToCell --> WorkletVisitCellsWithPoints
WorkletMapCellToPoint --> WorkletVisitPointsWithCells
```
The `ControlSignature` tags have been renamed as follows:
```
FieldInTo --> FieldInVisit
FieldInFrom --> FieldInMap
FromCount --> IncidentElementCount
FromIndices --> IncidentElementIndices
```
how did any of this work?
match other CellSet file layouts.
???
compile in CUDA.
unit tests.
also only serial.
make error message accurate
Well, this compiles and works now.
Did it ever?
use CellShapeTagGeneric
UnitTest matches previous changes.
whoops
Fix linking problems.
Need the same interface
as other ThreadIndices.
add filter test
okay, let's try duplicating CellSetStructure.
okay
inching...
change to wedge in CellSetListTag
Means changing these to support it.
switch back to wedge from generic
compiles and runs
remove ExtrudedType
need vtkm_worklet
vtkm_worklet needs to be included
fix segment count for wedge specialization
need to actually save the index
for the other constructor.
specialize on Explicit
clean up warning
angled brackets not quotes.

Rather than force all dispatchers to be templated on a device adapter,
instead use a TryExecute internally within the invoke to select a device
adapter.
Because this removes the need to declare a device when invoking a
worklet, this commit also removes the need to declare a device in
several other areas of the code.
abstracted out execution objects for both tetrahedralize and triangulate and removed the device template requirement from the execution object factory for both classes
Previously, when a Worklet needed a scatter, the scatter object was
stored in the Worklet object. That was problematic because that means
the Scatter, which is a control object, was shoved into the execution
environment.
To prevent that, move the Scatter into the Dispatcher object. The
worklet still declares a ScatterType alias, but no longer has a
GetScatter method. Instead, the Dispatcher now takes a Scatter object in
its constructor. If using the default scatter (ScatterIdentity), the
default constructor is used. If using another type of Scatter that
requires data to set up its state, then the caller of the worklet needs
to provide that to the dispatcher. For convenience, worklets are
encouraged to have a MakeScatter method to help construct a proper
scatter object.
These changes now allow VTK-m to compile on CUDA 7.5 by using const arrays,
when compiling with CUDA 8+ support we upgrade to static const arrays, and
lastly when CUDA is disabled we fully elevate to static constexpr.
If a global static array is declared with VTKM_EXEC_CONSTANT and the code
is compiled by nvcc (for multibackend code) then the array is only accesible
on the GPU. If for some reason a worklet fails on the cuda backend and it is
re-executed on any of the CPU backends, it will continue to fail.
We couldn't find a simple way to declare the array once and have it available
on both CPU and GPU. The approach we are using here is to declare the arrays
as static inside some "Get" function which is marked as VTKM_EXEC_CONT.
