    Compile reverse connectivity builder into vtkm_cont library · e74c0732

    Because `CellSetExplicit` is a templated class, the implementation of
    most of its features is part of the header files. One of the things that
    was included was the code to build the reverse connectivity links. That
    is, it figured out which cells were incident on each point using the
    standard connections of which points comprise which cells.
    
    Of course, building these links is non-trivial, and it used multiple
    DPPs to engage the device. It meant that header had to include the
    device adapter algorithms and therefore required a device compiler. We
    want to minimize this where possible.
    
    To get around this issue, a non-templated function was added to find the
    reverse connections of a `CellSetExplicit`. It does this by passing in
    `UnknownArrayHandle`s for the input arrays. (The output visit-points-
    with-cells arrays are standard across all template instances.) The
    implementation first iterates over all `CellSetExplicit` versions in
    `VTKM_DEFAULT_CELL_S...
