[Paraview] Level of Detail (LOD) significantly slower in PV3.9.0 compared to PV3.8.1

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

To close the loop on this, this has been fixed in git-master and will
be fixed in the final 3.10.0 release (the patch missed the release
candidate binaries).

    Fixed extra data-delivery when outline was used for LOD.

    When every LOD was enabled, and setting was set so that outline is used, it
    would invalidate the full res pipeline as well. Fixed that. As a
side effect,
    when outline needs to be delived to the client and LOD threshold
is higher than
    the outline threshold, we force LOD mode. This avoids an arificial linking
    between the LOD threshold and the outline threshold while at the
same time avoid
    re-delivery of full-res data.
