[vtkusers] vtkTextRenderer can't be instantiated by vtkObjectFactory

[Zach Mullen]

Sorry, should have posted this solution that Marcus pointed me to on a
different email thread.

I had linked my executable target against vtkRenderingFreeType, but had
failed to include vtkRenderingFreeType in the list of modules in the
find_package(VTK) MODULES list.  Adding it there fixed the problem.

Thanks,
