There were issues with the particle advection code where a small number
of work-heavy task invocations were needed. Since we were enforcing a
minimum of 1024 invocations per thread, this effectively serialized
scheduling.
Now the scheduler dynamically adjusts for small thread launches,
allowing finer scheduling.

The destructors of some control side objects (such as CellSet and
ArrayHandle) are defined. These destructors are obviously only compiled
for the control environment (i.e. for CUDA only for the host). However,
not all of the subclasses implemented their own destructors. In CUDA,
when a default destructor is used, it is compiled for both host and
device. This caused a problem as the superclass's destructor was only
compiled for the host and therefore caused a warning.
Fixed the problem by defining an empty destructor to any subclasses that
needed one.
It's weird that I ran into this problem while chaning the List TMP
class, but the solution seems fine.
Was getting the following error:
vtkm/List.h(284): error C2210: 'T' : pack expansions cannot be used as
arguments to non-packed parameters in alias templates
This is probably an issue with the compiler not resolving templated
aliases correctly.
This cleans up the code a bit by removing duplication. More importantly,
it makes sure that the old ListTag functions work with both the new
`List` and old `ListTagBase`.
Previously, the `VTKM_ALWAYS_EXPORT` and `VTKM_NEVER_EXPORT` macros
used the gnu-specific `__attribute__` keyword. This change instead
uses the C++11 standard method of using `[[ ]]` as attributes.
Specifically, `__attribute(visibility("---"))` is changed to
`[[gnu::visibility("--")]]`.
The main impetus for this change is that `__attribute__` does not
seem to work with `[[deprecated]]` on GCC compilers. (For sure on
GCC 6. I didn't check all compiler versions.) This change was
recommended from
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40886628/deprecated-attribute-visibility-default-in-gcc-6-2
This creates a minor backward incompatibility. We have always meant
for these macros to be used before the return type when used with
a function. However, GCC accepted placing `__attribute__` after
the return type. The C++11 `[[ ]]` cannot be placed there, so
some macros might have to be moved. Still, this was a broken
use that happened to work.
A new header named TypeList.h and the type lists have been redefined in
this new file. All the types have been renamed from `TypeListTag*` to
`TypeList*`. TypeListTag.h has been gutted to provide deprecated
versions of the old type list names.
There were also some other type lists that were changed from using the
old `ListTagBase` to the new `List`.
The newer List operations should still work on the old ListTags, so make
those changes first to ensure that everything still works as expected if
given an old ListTag.
Next step is to deprecate ListTagBase itself and move all the lists to
the new types.
Instead of incrementally building a new Invocation object
for each modified parameter, we construct a single new type
with all the new parameters.

`vtkm::List` is meant to replace `vtkm::ListTag`. Rather than
subclassing a base class with a variadic template, all lists expose the
list of types.
`vtkm::ListTag` was originally created before we required C++11 so
supporting variadic templates was problematic. To hide the issue we had,
we made list tags subclass other lists rather than be the list
themselves. It makes for nicer types in the compiler, but hides
important details about what is actually in the type. It also creates
lots of unnecessary new types.
The new `vtkm::List` is in some ways simpler. All lists have to be a
`vtkm::List`. Subclasses are not supported (or rather, they will not
work as expected). All manipulations (such as `vtkm::ListAppend`)
resolve directly back to a `vtkm::List`. Although the types reported by
the compiler will be longer, they will be more specific to the types
being used. Also, the new implimentation should ultimately use fewer
types.
Yet more ways that we can reduce the complexity of `FunctionInterface`.
This is another step in figuring out what set of features the replacement
for `FunctionInterface` needs to have.
