Swap call pattern of ArrayHandle::DeepCopy

Kenneth Moreland requested to merge kmorel/vtk-m:reverse-arrayhandle-deepcopy-pattern into master

The new method ArrayHandle::DeepCopy had the pattern such that the data in the this array was pushed to the provided destination array. However, this is the opposite pattern used in the equivalent method in VTK, which takes the data from the provided array and copies it to this array.

So, swap the pattern to match that of VTK. Also, make the method name more descriptive by renaming it to DeepCopyFrom. Hopefully, users will read that to mean given the ArrayHandle, you copy data from the other provided ArrayHandle.
