Summary0008829: Add vtkVariant support to wrappers
DescriptionClasses like vtkTable and vtkVariantArray are largely unusable in wrapped languages because they use vtkVariant in methods, so cannot be wrapped. Wrappers should map vtkVariant to a language-specific type.

Several steps must be taken to achieve this:
1) obviously the relevant bits of the headers must have the BTX/ETX removed
2) the wrappers must be made able to take vtkSomething parameter types names that aren't derived from vtkObjectBase without choking
3) the individual wrappers must be modified to check for and deal with vtkVariant

We don't want to add another "type" to vtkParse.l if it can be avoided. Instead, we just want to pass the name "vtkVariant" to the wrappers as 0x9 and have the wrappers recognize that, because it has no superclass, it must be dealt with differently from vtkObjectBase derived types.

This feature has been added for Python as of June 18, 2010. For Python, the fix was to wrap vtkVariant as its own python type. The issue must be resolved separately for Tcl and Java.
