[Paraview] vtkTimeSource

[David E DeMarle]

It might have been because in 3.2 its proxy configuration entry in
sources.xml was missing. This entry is required in more recent
paraview.

      <DoubleVectorProperty
          name="TimestepValues"
          repeatable="1"
          information_only="1">
        <TimeStepsInformationHelper/>
      </DoubleVectorProperty>

Nevertheless (adjusting for the fact that I meant "Growing" or set
"X-Amplitude = 1" when I said "Moving") it still works on my copy of
3.2.

cheers,
Dave
