    Change Fetches to use ThreadIndices instead of Invocation. · 99ce66c6
    Kenneth Moreland authored
    Previously, all Fetch objects received an Invocation object in their
    Load and Store methods. The point of this was that it allowed the Fetch
    to get data from any of the execution objects. However, every Fetch
    either just got data directly from its associated execution object or
    else used a secondary execution object (the input domain) to get indices
    into their own execution object.
    
    This left two potential areas for improvement. First, pulling data out
    of the Invocation object was unnecessarily complicated. It would be much
    nicer to get data directly from the associated execution object. Second,
    when getting index information from the input domain, it was often the
    case that extra computations were necessary (particularly on structured
    cell sets). There was no way to share the index information among
    Fetches, and therefore the computations were replicated.
    
    This change removes the Invocation from the Fetch Load and Store.
    Instead, it passes the associated execution object and a new object type
    called the ThreadIndices. The ThreadIndices are customized for the input
    domain and therefore have all the information needed for a redirected
    lookup. It is also a thread-local object so it can cache computed
    indices and save on computation time.
