[vtkusers] How to export vtk source objects created in programming way into files to load in ParaView etc

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Kiwi viewer was able to download a 3D scene from the ParaViewWeb (version
1) server, but with all the change made into the current ParaViewWeb, we
lost that capability.

The way it was working was that Kiwi viewer was downloading a scene
descriptor and then making several fetching request, one for each object to
finally form the full scene.

Just my 2 cents...
