[Paraview] Showing XDMF multiblock grid names on Extract

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Not currently. The vtkXDMFReader does not pass the names from the xmf
file over to the multiblock dataset it produces which is needed for
ParaView to use those names. Please feel free to add a bug report to
the tracker. This shouldn't be too involved an issue to address.
