[Paraview] Custom display panel for a source or filter

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Hi Paul,

In your plugin, you need to implement the pqDisplayPanelInterface (just 
what the pqStandardDisplayPanels in pqDisplayProxyEditorWidget.cxx does) 
and the register it with the plugin manager. If you look at 
pqDisplayProxyEditorWidget::updatePanel, you'll see that it checks for 
all pqDisplayPanelInterface implementations registered and asks them to 
create the panel for the source.
