Support for 3DConnexion Devices (SpaceNavigator, SpacePilot) inside VTK

THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL WORK

How to use it

Easy. Nothing to add about it.

Easy. There is nothing to install

Launch cmake and set VTK_USE_TDx to TRUE

Set the advanced variables:

VTK_TDX_INCLUDE_PATH to point to the path of xdrvlib.h (without mentioning xdrvlib.h)
VTK_TDX_OBJECT_PATH to the full path to xdrvlib.a (mentioning xdrvlib.a)

Easy. There is nothing else to set.

Just build vtk.

Launch TestTDx in interactive mode 1. Get the full command line of the test with:

$ ctest -R TestTDx -V -N

2. Copy the full command line in the prompt and add -I at the end, to run the test in interactive mode
