This configuration basically brings in two netcdf libraries. Since a
system netcdfcpp implies a system netcdf as well, do not allow such a
configuration.

Adapted from 64cb89e3.

The build doesn't actually use anything from it.

This is not being done through the third-party mechanisms because it has
since been superseded by netcdf-cxx4 upstream.

Now import the CMakeLists.txt from the repository and a readme for
Kitware modifications.

Git always pops a browser on Windows; assume that Git is new enough to
require the flag on Windows.

Twisted has bumped versions, this dependency should too.

The header name depends on whether the
source files have been amalgamated.

When built externally on Windows, CMake needs to know this and define
`H5_BUILT_AS_DYNAMIC_LIB` in order to get the declspec lines correct.
Expose an option so that users can get a proper link to HDF5.

All python 2 specific files now work in python 3, so move
them to the common web/Python module and remove the Python2 module.

Also fix a few uses of .has_key(), which has been
removed in python 3.

Backport python 3 compatible changes from the latest version
of Autobahn. We need to keep using this version while we use
WAMP and the autobahn router.

Address review comments.

Comment update-common.sh on how to avoid failing option check
on windows.

README.kitware.md describes the changes for vtk to the
source Twisted. Correct the cmake source path.

The expat library does not configure whether it was built statically
through its headers since it is installed both as a static and shared
library in certain setups. Since VTK only uses one, define XML_STATIC
for users of the library if necessary.

Fixes #17002.

Remove the old version of twisted as prep for
importing from the third-party repository.

Provide a helper function that import scripts can use when the
third-party project defines custom Git attributes in its top-level
`.gitattributes` file.  These must be commented out because Git
does not support custom attributes in a subdirectory where we
where the third-party project is about to be merged.

It is no longer necessary.
