[Paraview] Determining the paraview-version from a Python-script

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

To obtain the version number, you can do something as follows:

>>> from paraview.simple import *
>>> pxm = servermanager.ProxyManager()
>>> pxm.GetVersionMajor()
>>> pxm.GetVersionMinor()
>>> pxm.GetVersionPatch()
