[Paraview] Adding GenericProbeFilter to Paraview

[shawn mckenziie]

Ok that explains why its not regestering. Since i would rather deal with a
non-generic data type, do you know of any particular vtkFilter that allows
me to implement this method on regular data?
My intention is to allow for a plane to be input input in the probe filter
(or a similarily functional filter), which is not available in the probe
function currently.

Thanks
