    Reduce compiler memory usage by removing auto hxx inclusion · 7eaedfe8
    Robert Maynard authored
    A large portion of the VTK-m filters are now compiled into the
    vtkm_filter library. These pre-built filters now don't include
    the respective hxx file to remove the amount of template
    instantiation users do.
    
    To verify that this removal reduces compiler memory ( and maybe time)
    I profiled the compiler while it building filter tests in debug mode.
    Here is a selection of results:
    
    ```
    CleanGrid           10.25s => 9.01s,  901MB => 795MB
    ExternalFaces       13.40s => 5.96s, 1122MB => 744MB
    ExtractStructured    4.69s => 4.75s,  492MB => 492MB
    GradientExplicit    22.97s => 5.88s, 1296MB => 740MB
    ```
