improve extraction of exodus global variables

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 (closed).

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.
