[Paraview] particletracer, vectors menu?

[Berk Geveci]

This is actually simple to fix. In the filters xml
(Servers/ServerManager/Resources/filters.xml), ParticleTracer says it
is expecting a vtkTemporalDataSet input. However, in some cases, the
input may look like a vtkUnstructuredGrid, for example. The input type
for ParticleTracer should be set to vtkDataObject to fix this. I am
attaching a patch. I am not sure this is the best way to fix this in
the main repository so I am not committing it yet.
