Build portability images for VTK 9.x

[kwabenantim]

Description
We would like to run regular Chaste portability tests with VTK 9.0.x and 9.1.x.

Potential solutions:

• Rebuild two existing portability images and replace the VTK versions with 9.0.x and 9.1.x. This is feasible as 7.1.x and 8.2.x are repeated in the current image set.
• Create new portability images and tests for the new VTK versions.

Related Issues

• Support VTK 9.x Chaste#36

To Do

• Build portability image with VTK 9.0.x
• Build portability image with VTK 9.1.x

Looks as though it's missing the <limits> header....

Thanks @fcooper8472. I'll make a patch for it.
