VTK: add a space after the vtkpython call on Windows.

I did get an error "couldn't find vtkpythonC:..." without it.
(that change was also used in the 5.40.0 release to get VTK working in
the Windows installer)

Corrected the manpage section from 1 to 1L

In old systems there were many manpages in section 1L and 1M.
In modern ubuntu systems this no more seems to be the case.
Lintian tells to correct the manpage section to 1 and since
posix apparently didn't try to standartize the manual sections
we follow this hint.

Merge branch 'master' of ssh://git.code.sf.net/p/maxima/code

10520. By PeterPall on 2017-06-01

README tweaks:

 - Removed the claims I complained about to the mailing list
 - Corrected the number of test cases (ignoring the share tests
   that tend to sometimes fail)
 - and added an usage example.

If the usage example I chose isn't helpful/impressive/relevant
enough I beg not to complain, but to replace it with a better
one.

Make gnuplot forward error messages to the user

If gnuplot crashes it normally outputs a helpful error message.
Frontends like wxMaxma already monitor maxima's output stream for
error messages. But maxima didn't forward gnuplot's stderr stream
=> The errror message was lost and the only hint to a failing
gnuplot was a missing outfile or - if a gui frontent is used -
a "broken image" sign.

This commit makes maxima forward error messages from gnuplot to its
standard output instead.

Test case:
(%i3) draw2d(explicit(sin(x),x,1,10),user_preamble="ete");
 ete
 ^
 "/tmp/maxout_24465.gnuplot", line 38: invalid command
(%o3)

Before this commit the output was:
(%i3) draw2d(explicit(sin(x),x,1,10),user_preamble="ete");
(%o3)

For lispworks I didn't know how to forward gnuplot's stderr stream
=> added a TODO for this to the code.
