[Paraview] Lam mpi + paraview

[David E DeMarle]

In 3.0 the paraview executable is not MPI parallel, only the server
executables are.
That is, you can no longer run "mpirun -np N paraview" but instead have to
do something like "mpirun -np N pvserver&; paraview" and then use
File->Choose Server to connect to the parallel server.
