Summary0009881: Feature - cleaner backface cull with wireframe
DescriptionThe current option to cull backfaces (under the Display tab) is much better than we had, but we should also have a form of wireframe that doesn't display wires that are behind the object. Here is a screenshot of Paraview, culling backface lines, and EnSight's default wireframe. EnSight's looks a lot nicer.

I still really, really want this. Note that it isn't just deleting backfaces. It is drawing the object in the background color, with wireframe on top. You can see this with the block behind the can. We don't want to see the block at all through the can - including front face lines.

Adding an image of what I want, created with ParaView. I did the following (which is not reasonable for a user to do):
* Turn lighting kit off.
* Read in Can.exo. Solid color. Edit color. Make color the background. For default, this is 81, 87, 110. Surface. Apply.
* Read in the can again (or use the Pass Arrays filter).
* Wireframe.
* Make sure both filters are turned on.
* I had to play with the translation part of transform, bringing the lines forward slightly (-0.06)

I am attaching a screenshot of what this looks like.
