  • STYLE: Add itkVirtualGetNameOfClassMacro + itkOverrideGetNameOfClassMacro
  • STYLE: Replace itkStaticConstMacro with static constexpr
  • STYLE: CoordRepType -> CoordinateType code readability

…acro

Added two new macro's, intended to replace the old 'itkTypeMacro' and
'itkTypeMacroNoParent'.

The main aim is to be clearer about what those macro's do: add a virtual
'GetNameOfClass()' member function and override it. Unlike 'itkTypeMacro',
'itkOverrideGetNameOfClassMacro' does not have a 'superclass' parameter, as it
was not used anyway.

Note that originally 'itkTypeMacro' did not use its 'superclass' parameter
either, looking at commit 699b66cb04d410e555656828e8892107add38ccb, Will
Schroeder, June 27, 2001:

Use static constexpr directly now that C++11 conformance
is required by all compilers.

'itkStaticConstMacro(name, type, value)' became unconditionally
identical to 'static constexpr type name = value' with ITK commit

maekclena, 7 May 2019.

'itkGetStaticConstMacro(name)' became unconditionally identical to
'(Self::name)' with ITK commit 84e490b81e3f3c2b0edb89ae7b9de53bfc52f2b2
"Removing some outdated compiler conditionals", Hans Johnson, 31 July
2010.

Most 'itkStaticConstMacro' calls were removed by ITK commit 5c14741e1e063a132ea7e7ee69c5bd0a4e49af74
For the sake of code readability, a new 'CoordinateType' alias is added for
each nested 'CoordRepType' alias. The old 'CoordRepType' aliases will still be
available with ITK 6.0, but it is recommended to use 'CoordinateType' instead.
The 'CoordRepType' aliases will be removed when 'ITK_FUTURE_LEGACY_REMOVE' is
enabled. Similarly, 'InputCoordinateType', 'OutputCoordinateType', and
'ImagePointCoordinateType' replace 'InputCoordRepType', 'OutputCoordRepType',
and 'ImagePointCoordRepType', respectively.
