Implicit Views

[PhilipDeegan]

In order to facility decomposition of work load for both threading and GPGPU.

The goal really, is that when we get to executing inside a solver, we shouldn't really care what sort of memory or objects we are dealing with, and inputs should be processed essentially as they are now but in potentially different forms, which are not necessarily patch based, or entire particle arrays.

This will also remove the need to use set on patch in a number of places, which is a coupling to SAMRAI

A view hierarchy should be created, and recreated per regrid, so that we have a set of pointers per patch, per level, and it should be easy to access particular members like it currently is on the hybrid state

potentially it might require a hierarchy per solver/state, ie. one for hybrid, one for mhd, or they might share a superclass
