BUG: VTKPolyDataMeshIO support for reading VTK 5.1 format #4669

This format is not documented per:

https://github.com/Kitware/VTK/commit/7f76b9e97b1a05cfe4fcd5f9af58f0d7a385b639
https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/issues/17989
https://discourse.vtk.org/t/legacy-polydata-file-compatibility/5354/11

so best guess implementation.

Continue to write with the older form, which is supported by more software.

Closes #4478

@dzenanz thanks for the review. Other reviews are welcome, but I will merge this by the end of the day to have the bug addressed for the 5.4.0 release.
