Enhance Silo plugin to support high order elements from Silo lib

[aowen87]

Randy Settgast requested this. If #740 gets completed, we need to enhance Silo plugin to support higher order elements from Silo. Randy said a good first cut would be to just resample unto a finer grid and use zonecentered data for each quadrature term.

Comments: After talking with Randy about this, a first option is to make VisIt/Silo a bit smarter about handling DBOPT_QUADRATURE_SCHEME variables by doing some simplified form of AMR; a hexahedral mesh with 8 quadrature points per hex-zone would be refined 2x2x2 providing both the original mesh and the refined mesh upon which to visualize the 8 quadrature integration points.
