Add vendoring infrastructure and a couple of third party libraries#256
Merged
Conversation
The planned YAML/JSON config front-end needs a YAML parser. Since the legacy config will be phased out, we vendor RapidYAML as an always-built single-header library. Follows the Kitware third-party update convention (as used across VTK, ParaView, etc): thirdparty/update-common.sh is Kitware's shared import script and thirdparty/rapidyaml/update.sh is the per-package driver that re-imports the pinned release's amalgamation. Code from vendored libraries should NOT be updated by hand, but only using the update scripts.

The upcoming yaml config format will require a new dependency. Since the legacy format will eventually be phased out, the new format will be required to be used. Instead of making users responsible for getting a required dependency, vendor it here. I added in the infrastructure that Kitware normally uses in repos (e.g., VTK, ParaView, etc) along with documentation describing it. I've started it off with RapidYAML and Google Test. Google test is being added to do unit testing which I have planned for some of the work I'm doing.
