[vtk-developers] No api for vtkAlgorithm::SetInputData()

[Berk Geveci]

I am fine with making this change with the exception of calling it
"SetInputData". The moment you did that, you will start seeing hidden
method warning in all subclasses that define SetInputData with another type
as input. SetInputDataObject? SetInputDataAsDataObject?
