Mili was removed in the superbuild back in 2015 and it had been
completely commented out (it seems it had been a plugin then).

However, I can't find a mili upstream. All I see is mentions of
VisItBridge, VisIt, and lots of noise. Do you have a link to a mili
tarball?

It still exists in `master`. The superbuild's copy of cgns was removed
since ParaView imported it into its ThirdParty directory.

The superbuild does have a CGNS reader test which is passing:
