Wrap third party optionparser.h in vtkm/cont/internal/OptionParser.h

Kenneth Moreland requested to merge kmorel/vtk-m:optionparser-to-third-party into master

Previously we just took the optionparser.h file and stuck it right in our source code. That was problematic for a variety of reasons.

  1. It incorrectly assigned our license to external code.
  2. It made lots of unnecessary changes to the original source (like reformatting).
  3. It made it near impossible to track patches we make and updates to the original software.

Instead, use the third-party system to track changes to optionparser.h in a different repository and then pull that into ours.
