[Paraview] Annotate Time with legacy vtk series

[Moreland, Kenneth]

No, that is the wrong way to go about it.  Changing the timekeeper time will
adjust the times sent to the reader.  You will still have the mismatch
ParaView will not load in all of the time steps that you want.

Instead, apply the "Temporal Shift Scale" filter to your data to adjust its
range to the desired values.  You will probably also have to change the
animation mode to Sequence to force ParaView to ignore the timesteps
reported from the original reader.
