[vtkusers] VTK-Code_Submission_InteractorStyleDrawPolygonType2

[David E DeMarle]

Thanks Jon,

The best way to contribute code to VTK is via gitlab. Git can be a little
annoying the first time through but gitlab and buildbot simplify the review
and test efforts that all new code goes through before merging
substantially.

The steps are outlined here:

https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/blob/master/Documentation/dev/git/develop.md
Overall you signup on gitlab.kitware.com, clone VTK to your local machine,
run the SetupForDevelopment script, do your work locally and when satisfied
push the branch to your gitlab.kitware.com account. Finally issue a merge
request and let one of the trusted developers know about it via @username
in a comment. Trusted developers can then trivially run regression tests on
all platforms and suggest changes to make.

Looking forward to the eventual better integration with PCL!
