[vtkusers] vtkShaderProgram2 Example

[Francois Bertel]

The current shader mechanism is attached to a vtkProperty which
restricts is usage to material shaders on polydata mappers.
It is unusable for other kind of mappers (volume mappers), or
algorithm working at the renderer level, not at the prop level (depth
peeling).

vtkShaderProgram2 is just pretty much a wrapper above the OpenGL calls
so it can be used in more cases.

What do you want to do with your geometry shader?

PS: I just updated the .h accordingly.
