[vtkusers] cell number limitation

[David E DeMarle]

Cells and points are indexed via vtkIdType, which is 32 bit on 32 bit
machines and 64 on 64 bit machines (usually). Other than that, if you
find a specific instance in the library where there is a limitation,
it is a bug. In practice you won't reach that limit before the OS and
hardware cut you off. When that happens, your options are to stream,
or use parallelism.
