New Loop Boolean

Adam Updegrove requested to merge updega2/vtk:new_boolean into master

This is a new Boolean that is possible following the new code recently added to vtkIntersectionPolyDataFilter. @cory-quammen @dgobbi

I have given the new boolean the name vtkLoopBooleanPolyDataFilter as it finds intersection loops and runs around these in an oriented fashion in order to determine the sub-surfaces of the Boolean. I felt this was better than vtkBooleanOperationPolyDataFilter2, especially since there was a test already named that way. I'm open to changing the name though.

Oh, and as a plus, I removed the vtkDataSetSurfaceFilter that I was previously using, so I no longer need to bring in the Filters/Geometry module. Makes the change a lot smoother and simpler.

Again, more details on this can be found here: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0965997816300230
