[vtkusers] Temporal Interpolation Assistance with VTK7 in Python

It looks like vtkFileSeriesReader and vtkExodusFileSeriesReader are both part of ParaView, not VTK. Either

1. use pvpython instead of vtkpython; or
2. ask about moving those classes to VTK (I don't know a reason they couldn't be moved, but I haven't looked at them in detail); or
3. make an external VTK module that includes those classes (or classes like them) and gets python-wrapped -- which seems like a problem to maintain.
