[vtkusers] Combining volumes and transparent

[Lisa S. Avila]

Hello Jiro,

Yes - the VolumePro mapper (and the volume texture mapper and volume ray 
cast mapper) all were trashing the OpenGL state by disabling blending. I 
fixed this and just checked it in. You can simply remove the enable/disable 
calls from vtkOpenGLVolumeProVG500Mapper if you don't want to update.
