test extract_cells_by_type() failing on 32-bit arches: Expecting a numpy.int32 array, got int64 instead.

vedo 2024.5.2 tests are failing on 32-bit architectures in debian tests. The failure is in extract_cells_by_type() from common tests test_core2.py

517s ValueError: Expecting a numpy.int32 array, got int64 instead.

numpy2vtk in vedo/utils.py explicitly requests np.int64, which I presume is causing the error. Should it use simple python int instead?

Full test logs are available at armel https://ci.debian.net/packages/v/vedo/testing/armel/48706152/ armhf https://ci.debian.net/packages/v/vedo/testing/armhf/48706220/ i386 https://ci.debian.net/packages/v/vedo/testing/i386/48705992/ https://ci.debian.net/packages/v/vedo/

This is with vtk 9.3.0 and numpy 1.26.4.

Thanks for reporting! I just committed a fix, but I guess that the simple python int should also do the trick...

Great, I'll apply your patch to keep the codebase consistent.
