[Paraview] libOSMesa.so is missing during Mesa installation for ParaView off-screen Rendering

[David E DeMarle]

-D PARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI:BOOL=OFF means don't build the front end GUI, so
there is no "bin/paraview".

Try running "bin/pvpython", "[mpiexec -n N] bin/pvbatch" and "[mpiexec -n
N] bin/pvserver" instead.
