[vtkusers] Change properties of axis titles for a vtkCubeAxesRepresentation

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi Seb,

I don't think vtkCubeAxesRepresentation allow you to have different color
between the axis and its title. On top of that, to force the regeneration
of the axes, you can call ->Modified() on the vtkCubeAxesActor
