[vtkusers] ClipClosedSurface

[Laurent Paul]

Hi David,

I think that this class is a great improvement for VTK as well as the 
class published in the Insight Journal called "Boolean Operations on 
Surfaces in VTK Without External Libraries"

I don't know what happened when I have downloaded the clss from git, but 
I have retried and I finally get the class containing the ScalarMode.
I"ll try that tomorrow.
Thanks,
Laurent.
