[vtkusers] Update 1 | Bug fix notes for building VTK 6.2.0 with MS VS2015 on Windows 10 x64

[Audrius Stundzia]

VTK Users,

The previous reported fixes apply to both the VTK 6.2.0 Debug and
Release version builds.

In building the VTK 6.2.0 Release version, specifically, encountered the
following MS VS2015 RTM  compiler bug [previously reported by Yordan
Kyosev with no resolution]

Project: vtkIOEnSight

File: vtkEnSightReader.cxx

1> vtkEnSightReader.cxx
1> Generating Code...
1>e:\vtk\vtk-6.2.0\io\ensight\vtkensightreader.cxx(1568): fatal error
    C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler.
1> (compiler file 'f:\dd\vctools\compiler\utc\src\p2\main.c', line 246)
1> To work around this problem, try simplifying or changing the program
   near the locations listed above.

Experiments with updating the code in question did not fix the issue. As
I do not use the vtkIOEnSight project, the Gordian Knot solution was to
simply remove this project from the build.
