[vtk-developers] clean-up VTK_LEGACY code

[Dan Lipsa]

I sent an email to the VTK users list. It would be nice to make it more
obvious when people are using deprecated code, for instance using #warning
preprocessor option. Right now users get run-time messages and possible no
message at all if code is only excluded using VTK_LEGACY_REMOVE. They have
to recompile their code using VTK_LEGACY_REMOVE cmake option to see that
they use deprecated code.
