[vtkusers] About vtkCellLocator::IntersectWithLine method

[Nicolas Gallego]

Hi Cory and David,

Thank you for the invitation to develop, I did the changes in the source
code and pushed the topic. I also added you as a reviewer.

I basically took David's explanation and place it in the definition of the
method vtkCell::IntersectWithLine() since I understood it was somehow
delegated to that class, I also added the reference in
vtkAbstractCellLocator to the vtkCell for details.

I hope that helps,
