Migration from vtk7 to vtk9



Hello science team!

After discussion with Jochen and Andreas, I'm working on removing the
old vtk7 package from the archive, or at least do not build-depends on
it.
The rationale is that vtk7 is old and not maintained upstream anymore.
The current version is vtk9. 
Unfortunately, many packages are not ready for the migration because
the way VTK works changed between version 8 and 9, especially on the
CMake side.

So I've started to update reverse build-depends of libvtk7-dev: cgal-
demo [1], mia [2], nifti2dicom [3], openems [4]...

I've discovered that similar initiatives are ongoing [5]. I think that
synchronization is needed to avoid duplicate work.

There is still a lot to do, like camitk, gdcm, vtk-dicom, facet-
analyser, so any contribution is welcome!

Best Regards,
François
