ENH: CanReadFile does not fail for newer file version.

Dan Lipsa requested to merge danlipsa/vtk:file-version-15578 into master

CanReadFile does not fail for newer file versions to enable clients (ParaView) to distinguish between reader failures caused by a mismatch between the file and the reader, and reader failures that cannot be fixed by changing the reader.

A warning will be printed when reading a file with a newer version than the reader.

Legacy readers already behave this way.
