Wrong declaration of VtkPolygon::IntersectPolygonWithPolygon

In the VtkPolygon.h, bounds2 in the definition is double[3]

  static int IntersectPolygonWithPolygon(int npts, double *pts, double bounds[6],
                                         int npts2, double *pts2,
                                         double bounds2[3], double tol,
                                         double x[3]);

But in the VtkPolygon.cxx, bounds2 in the implementation is double[6]

int vtkPolygon::IntersectPolygonWithPolygon(int npts, double *pts,double bounds[6],
                                            int npts2, double *pts2,
                                            double bounds2[6], double tol2,
                                            double x[3])

The declaration in header is wrong. It is not affect the C++ interface because the dimension is not checked. When we use python interface, we will get this error "TypeError: IntersectPolygonWithPolygon argument 6: expected a sequence of 3 values, got 6 values".

The issues exists from VTK 7.0.
