[vtkusers] vtkPointSet::GetPoint bug?

[Francois Bertel]

It requires to touch a lot of classes in VTK that use it before
turning it as deprecated.

The real bad method is actually on vtkDataArray.h:
virtual double *GetTuple(vtkIdType i) = 0;

This is the one that should be really deprecated, but it requires
probably more files to change in VTK.
