[Paraview] Animating All Data Time Steps

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Well, the duration is still needed in the Sequence mode. It controls the 
number of frames in the animation. To make this interpretation clear, 
here's what I am doing:
* In sequence mode, the present "Duration" label will change to "No. of 
Frames:" and the animation will have exactly those many frames. This the 
animation will run from 0 to (no. of frames -1).
* In real time mode, the present "Duration" label will stay as Duration" 
and the animation will run for duration seconds i.e. time will go from 0 
to duration seconds.
* When the user will change the play mode, the labels (and their 
interpretation) will change accordingly.
