[Takuya OSHIMA]

I'm considering the same thing as requested in #7314:
"reload button wold be really nice for watching simulations"
http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=7314
which has been discussed in the list so many times.

With a combination of the reload button and the immediate_update
attribute as proposed by Utkarsh, the feature will be much easier to
implement in the reader side.
