[Imstk-developers] Default renderer

[Alexis Girault]

Hi Nick,

Indeed we'll have VTK as default, however the switch between VTK and Vulkan
can be made at configuration time in CMake with a variable like
'USE_Vulkan` defaulted to OFF. Based on this cmake variable we can then
download/compile VTK or Vulkan+dependencies and define pre-compilation
variables to use VTK or Vulkan c++ code.

I described the process a couple weeks ago on your merge request here:
