ENH: Update the vtkArrayAPI to support distributed arrays / arrays with non-zero-based coordinate indices.

Fix from Nasztanovics Ferenc (naszta@naszta.hu).

The finalize() method has been removed from VTK objects, since
finalize() is called on a different thread and may cause concurrency
issues. Instead, we keep a hash table containing WeakReference's in
vtkGlobalJavaHash. vtkGlobalJavaHash.GC() will call VTK's Delete() on
any objects whose weak reference has expired (i.e. they have been
garbage collected by Java). This may be called manually, or may be
called at intervals on the swing event thread by an instance of
vtkJavaGarbageCollector. The default currently is that it is called
once every second on the swing event thread.

vtkGlobalJavaHash.DeleteAll() will delete all native objects in the
hash table regardless of whether their Java objects are still in use.
Therefore this should be reserved for when you will no longer use any
VTK objects in Java, (e.g. at shutdown).

Also included is the fix to Bug 8942 submitted by dbarbier, where the
Java hash could be corrupted when calling Delete manually on objects.

Some tests have been added that demonstrate how the new classes
should work.

vtkX3DBinaryConverter has been removed since it no longer compiles.

CellType is a new Java object that lets you easily access the various
cell types in VTK.

vtkNativeLibrary is a new Java object that facilitates loading the
native VTK libraries.

BUG: Fix issue #10374 - no, really, NEVER. (Thanks, John Drescher, on the VTK mailing list, for pointing this out.)

ENH: Add box+border behind chart area. Add vertical+horizontal reference line. Give option of title placement.

STYLE: Minor cleanup.

The syntax

  vtkSmartPointer<vtkBaseClass> b = vtkNew<vtkDerivedClass>();

does not work as implemented.  C++98 12.2/2 allows the compiler to
copy-construct an extra vtkNew<> temporary to which to bind the
reference of b's constructor.  Since vtkNew<> does not provide copy
semantics (and cannot by design) this fails on compilers that choose to
copy the temporary unnecessarily.

I'm reverting this feature until we have time to investigate further.

empty vtkPoints array when the vtkPointSet to copy had no points.

This simple template creates and owns one instance of its template
argument for its lifetime.  Ownership can be shared with smart or raw
pointers but cannot be taken away from vtkNew<> until destruction.  This
approximates use of VTK objects as stack variables.

TestCxxFeatures tells us that all currently supported compilers provide
member templates.  We remove the check for member template support from
vtkSmartPointer and simply assume that it is available.

ENH: Add a method to query the contents of leaf nodes so that we can get Cell Id's per leaf if needed.
STYLE: Improve documentation.

ENH: vtkDelimitedTextReader provides a 'GetLastError()' method so feedback can be provided to end-users, and made it more pedantic - users cannot load a UTF-16 file containing a BOM when thwhen the character set is UTF-16LE or UTF-16BE.

COMP: when mpi based tests are run on windows, the mpiexe path-to-exe does not include the debug/release part of the path and hence these tests do not run - this fix should resolve it.

deciding if we needed to regenerate the colors. This was incorrect since the LUT
alpha is anyways not taken into consideration when generating the colors. This
was causing the display lists to be re-generated when actor::property::alpha <
1. Fixed that.
