    Improved code to extract global temporal variables generated by exodus
    reader.
    
    * `vtkExodusIIReader` marks global temporal variables specially. This
      helps downstream filters recognize these arrays as such.
    * Deprecating `vtkExtractTemporalFieldData`, the filter is very exodus
      specific hence replacing it with
      `vtkExtractExodusGlobalTemporalVariables`.
    * `vtkExtractExodusGlobalTemporalVariables` support extract global
       temporal arrays (similar to vtkExtractTemporalFieldData).
       Additionally, it can handle restart files (a concept supported in
       ParaView).  Addresses paraview/paraview#17851
    
    `extractGlobalTemporalVariables` doesn't test for restart files yet
    since VTK reader doesn't support restart files. We'll add a test in
    ParaView for the same.
