[Paraview] Save Data vtu format

I found the full declaration of the cell types in vtkCellTypes.h and came to
that conclusion. However, I'm not too clear on how ParaView handle's these
cell types, but I can worry about that another time. It would be nice to
have an option in Save Data to output all cell types equal to
VTK_CONVEX_POINT_SET as tetrahedrals, or a filter for identifying and
isolating these specific cells and tetrahedralising them. My workaround for
today involved tertrahedralising the whole mesh, which increased its size
7-fold so not the most practical option.

You probably have some sort of polyhedra that is getting converted to
VTK_CONVEX_POINT_SET.
