[Paraview] Fedora mpi packaging

[Berk Geveci]

On second thought, it may not be as easy as I described before. All
paraview binaries link against vtkParallel which links against MPI. If
you want to distribute a non-mpi client and an mpi server, you would
have to distribute multiple sets of shared libraries (which may be
acceptable).
