Use bigger integer type for number of facets per parent cell

  • This PR is a bug fix
    It changes the type of the number-of-facets-per-parent-cell from uint16_t to IndexType.

The 16-bit type was problematic because, the sum scan on it apparently uses 16-bit adds instead of promoting the items to the output IndexType. The array doesn't need to be bigger than 16-bit, because it only has to store values in [0,5]. But this change is necessary to prevent the sum from rolling over at 2^16. On rzgenie and rzansel, the data did get promoted to 32-bit before adding, so the bug didn't affect them. RAJA issue LLNL/RAJA#1631 should address this inconsistency.

…build failure.

emplace_back causes a warning about calling a host function from a device function.
I don't see how it can happen, but it may be critical to the app's build.
Facet increments will never have values higher than 16, so uint16_t
should be fine, but when we scan it and store in the wider IndexType,
the addition seems to be done as uint16_t, which unexpectedly rolls
over.
