[Paraview] load plugin in pvpython/pvbatch (CVS)

[Yumin Yuan]

Hi Jean,

Thanks for the report. I recently changed the "LoadPlugin" API as part
of the improvements for ParaView's plugin framework. Apparently, the
comments were not updated properly. Also there were some conflicts in
the new APIs I added. I just committed some fix and update the
comments. Could you update and give it another try. Sorry for the
inconvenience.
