[vtkusers] set image as background

[David E DeMarle]

I would have two renderers, layer 0 and layer 1, both will cover the same
viewport. Put what you want to be the background on a quad or a 2D image
data in layer 0 and set layer 0's camera to show it exclusively. Then render
the scene in layer 1. Layer 1's background will not be drawn, but objects in
layer 1 will appear in front of the image from layer 0.
