This 10M triangle scene stresses depth peeling implementations to see
how well they perform.

Results (nVidia Quadro 2000M, Release build):

vtkDepthPeelingPass: 1.2 FPS (0.77s first frame, 0.83s subsequent)
vtkDualDepthPeelingPass: 2.5 FPS (0.56s first frame, 0.40s subsequent)

We see a roughly 50% improvement with the new dual algorithm, since
the dual algorithm peels 2 layers per geometry pass.

For reference, simple alpha blending results in 49 FPS, 0.18s first frame,
0.020s subsequent.

This implements a new depth peeling algorithm that peels layers of
fragments from both the front and back of the translucent geometry at
once.

This also introduces vtkOpenGLRenderPass, which provides a virtual API
that allows custom shader code replacements without the need to edit
all mappers.

The older vtkDepthPeelingPass has been updated to use the new
vtkOpenGLRenderPass API, and is left in VTK as a fallback for drivers
that lack support for the dual peeling features (floating point textures
in particular).

Search from the end of the last replacement instead of the start of
the string for multiple replacements. This is faster and lets us
chain replacements by including the 'search' string inside the
'replace' string.

Avoid passing unused array values to the vtkFunctionParser for each tuple.
This was causing the vtkArrayCalculator to get slower as the number
of available arrays in the dataset increased even when the function
remain unchanged.

This was already documented in README.md

faults for large datasets. This fix is based on vtkSynchronizedTemplates3D

Without this, static MSVC builds don't compile ('FILE' isn't defined).

Some of these are common identifiers (col, pos, etc.) and are
causing identifier collisions/shadow var warnings on MSVC.

Updated the variable names to use VTK style while refactoring.

Since vtkArrayListTemplate.h includes vtkArrayListTemplate.txx, all
non-templated methods defined in the implementation file need to
be marked inline to prevent warnings about ODR violations on static
msvc builds.

The included file was pulling in <cassert> and defining the Win32
assert implementation '_wassert' both inside and outside of the
anonymous namespace, leading to ambiguous function call errors on
static debug win32 builds.
