[Paraview] Ensight Reader: Invalid number of unstructured points read; check that ByteOrder is set correctly

[Zhanping Liu]

Hi BastiL:

   As you know, Line #2502 (see below) is used to check whether or not the
(total) number of points is valid in relation to the file size. I feel that
this is a reasonable as well as necessary check. A valid EnSight file is
supposed to pass this check. Is your Ensight dataset divided into multiple
files such that the total number of points is greater than the size of any
of those files?

   Thanks.

----------
if (numPts < 0 || numPts > this->FileSize || numPts * (int)sizeof(int) >
this->FileSize)
{
vtkErrorMacro("Invalid number of unstructured points read; check that
ByteOrder is set correctly.");
return -1;
}
---------
