Support arbitrary, user-defined, nodal/zonal indexing variables

[aowen87]

A user has Silo data in which he'd like to maintain multiple different indexing schemes; global nodes, domainlocal, material/chunklocal. These can be handled in Silo as mesh variables like any other mesh variable. However, its important for VisIt to know a given variable is suitable for indexing purposes as it serves as a candidate for label plot of mesh to use for node numbers/zone numbers as well as pick/query to return. Its more automated than having user have to specify the particular variables to be used for indexing.
