[vtkusers] Check if vtkPolyData objects intersect

[Cory Quammen]

vtkIntersectionPolyDataFilter should be good when both vtkPolyData
contain only triangles. If there is an error message, could you post
it here? We should address that. It should be possible to get an empty
vtkPolyData result from vtkIntersectionPolyDataFilter that you could
check.

More general vtkPolyData-vtkPolyData intersection (poly data with line
segments, quads, etc.) is not available in a convenient VTK class that
I know of.
