[Paraview] Lam mpi + paraview

[Berk Geveci]

Do not use mpicc and mpic++ to compile paraview. Instead, configure
the build such that the necessary mpi libraries are used and the
appropriate include paths are set. mpicc and mpic++ are light wrappers
around the actual compilers that do "extra stuff". If you use them to
compile paraview, they do that "extra stuff" to every single object
file they compile. Since there is a good chunk of code that do not use
MPI, it is best to avoid doing that.
