[Paraview] picture-transfer in paraview <--> pvserver

[Berk Geveci]

If the geometry size is below the remote render threshold, geometry is
transferred and rendered on the client. If the geometry size is above
the threshold, rendering happens on the server and the resulting image
is transferred. No OpenGL commands travel over the network.
