Rewrite HTG cell centers filter as a HTG algorithm sub-class
The motivation for this refactoring was quite simple: amongst all ancient (but renovated) and new hypetree grid filters, which were part of the recently merged "HyperTreeGrid Version 2" branch, the HTG CellCenters filter stood out as the only one which was not deriving from vtkHyperTreeGridAlgorithm, which had also been reworked entirely for this new version of HTG support. This was because vtkHyperTreeGridCellCenters was, initially, deriving from the vtkCellCenters class in Filters/General. As VTK does not support multiple inheritance, it was left that way but that was not consistent with our overall approach of making all HTG algorithms derive from a single base class, in the double goal of facilitating both the writing of new HTG filters and their maintenance in the long run. The current commit thus provides a re-writing of the HTG cell center creating algorithm as subclass of vtkHyperTreeGridAlgorithm while preserving the outside appearance of a vtkCellCenter-derived filter in its API, specifically by introducing a VertexCells instance variable in order to mimic that which is provided in vtkCellCenters. Note that no new unit tests are provided as part of this commit, for the 4 existing ones for the previous incarnation of the HTG cell center filter are still passing with unchanged results (as they should indeed).
