[Paraview] Reader plugin have same extension

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Also don't forget about the CanReadFile option.  Implementing CanReadFile is by far the best option of them all because it will allow ParaView to always pick the right file without pestering the user with a chooser dialog box, which can be quite annoying.

I say that when PV encounter two reader that claim same extension then best let user decide which he want to be use. that will be my choice... maybe I don't have a choice!

Precedence is based on order in the XML, last XML entry parsed gets priority  so that plugins override the provided readers easily. In addition, readers can have a bool CanReadFile(); method, which gets called before the decision is finalized.
