`VaraintArrayHandle` has been replaced by `UnknownArrayHandle` and
`UncertainArrayHandle`. Officially make it deprecated and point users to
the new implementations.
Unfortunately, this introduces a backward-incompatible change with the
filters that use ImplicitFunctions. Before, they would get an
ImplicitFunctionHandle. This class is deprecated, and there is no easy
way to get back the actual type of implicit function stored in it.
Deprecated the `CellLocator` class and made all methods of the
other `CellLocator` classes non-virtual. General locators can
still use the `CellLocatorGeneral` class, but this class now
only works with a predefined set of locators. (The functionality
to provide a function to select a locator has been removed.)
The newer version of `ArrayHandle` no longer supports different types of
portals for different devices. Thus, the `ReadPortalType` and
`WritePortalType` are sufficient for all types of portals across all
devices.
This significantly simplifies supporting execution objects on devices,
and thus this change also includes many changes to various execution
objects to remove their dependence on the device adapter tag.
It used to be the case where you needed to call `ResetTypes` on a
`VariantArrayHandle` before using `ArrayCopy` to limit the types it gets
compiled for. However, there is now a general form for
`UnknownArrayHandle`, so `ResetTypes` no longer does anything useful in
this case. Remove the use of that.
The circular dependency came from UnknownArrayHandle.h needing
VTKmDefaultTypes.h, which needed all the cell set types. Some of those
cell sets used ArrayCopy in templated functions. Changed those functions
to directly deep copy the ArrayHandle.
There was an error that caused deprecation warnings in VTK-m to be
suppressed, which meant that many uses of deprecated features went
unnoticed. This fixes those deprecation warnings.
The majority of the warnings were caused by the use of the deprecated
`Cast`, `CopyTo`, and `ResetTypes` methods of `UnknownArrayHandle` (or
`VariantArrayHandle`). Both `Cast` and `CopyTo` have been subsumed by
`AsArrayHandle` (to make the functionality more clear). `ResetTypes` now
requires a second template argument to define the storage types to try.
Also fixed some issues with `SerializableField` being deprecated.
This class is no longer necessary because `Field` can now be directly
serialized.
The `VariantArrayHandle` will soon be deprecated for its replacement of
`UnknownArrayHandle`. Thus, `Field` and related classes should start
using the new `UnknownArrayHandle`.
These helper functions were in vtkm::cont::testing, but that made them
hard to discover (and I personally kept forgetting about them). Move
them to the top namespace so that IDE of test_equal will helpfully
remind us of these other test functions.

As we remove more and more virtual methods from VTK-m, I expect several
users will be interested in completely removing them from the build for
several reasons.
1. They may be compiling for hardware that does not support virtual
methods.
2. They may need to compile for CUDA but need shared libraries.
3. It should go a bit faster.
To enable this, a CMake option named `VTKm_NO_DEPRECATED_VIRTUAL` is
added. It defaults to `OFF`. But when it is `ON`, none of the code that
both uses virtuals and is deprecated will be built.
Currently, only `ArrayHandleVirtual` is deprecated, so the rest of the
virtual classes will still be built. As we move forward, more will be
removed until all virtual method functionality is removed.
The parallel sorts in the device adapter are documented to not be
stable. Up until recently, the sorts for all the supported devices
happened to be stable (or at least provided a stable sort where needed).
However, the recent Kokkos adapter provides a sort that is no stable.
This broke some tests that relied on stable sorts when they should not
have.
Fix the tests that relied on stable sort to check the results.
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.
