[vtkusers] Unable to build VTK 8.0.1 vtkRenderingOculus

[Ken Martin]

Oculus made some changes to how their SDK works such that the VTK
build/link process needs to be reworked to link against their SDK. Probably
not super difficult but it hasn't been done by anyone.

For now a better option may be to build with OpenVR support and use the
Oculus through OpenVR/SteamVR.
