[Dune] Removal of deprecated VTKOptions

[Oliver Sander]

Hi,
I agree with Christoph in principle.  The stuff has been deprecated for
a long time, and it should be known that we remove deprecated things
after the next release.  On the other it is preferable to warn people
a few days in advance before removal.
best,
Oliver
