Minimal Quadratic Prism Shapes

This PR is in regards to issue #361. It implements a minimal quadratic shape to ensure writing to vtk works properly.

For future reference, the links below show how VTK quadratic entities are defined. The one we are interested in is a triangular prism with 18 nodes (6 vertex nodes, 9 mid-edge nodes, and 3 face nodes on quad faces). In VTK notation, it is called VTK_BIQUADRATIC_QUADRATIC_WEDGE with a type enum of 32.
