[vtkusers] Add sphere to current slice (vtkImageReslice)

[David Gobbi]

Hi Enzo,

As a general solution, you can add a callback for the renderer's
StartEvent.  The renderer emits this event immediately before it renders
the scene, so a StartEvent callback can be used to compute the distance of
each sphere from the slice plane, and can then call VisibilityOn() for all
sphere actors that are close to the slice, and VisibilityOff() for all
actors that are far from the slice.

I've found the StartEvent to be incredibly useful for manipulating
annotations like spheres, arrows, text, and whatnot.
