[Paraview] Xdmf wrappers for our HDF5

[Jerry Clarke]

Jean,

Has the large grid ever worked in the past ... I may have
broken the extents when I modified the parallelism for spatial
collections.

If I broke the parallelism, that might explain the slowness
on smaller grids.

I'm assuming that the Xdmf xml just specifies a single
structured grid.
