[Paraview] Display given node IDs from Ensight Gold file

[Manuel González]

Zhanping:

I send attached a minimal Ensight Gold dataset in ASCII format:

- case file.
- geometry file.

- snapshot of the result I get.
- state file after capturing the snapshot.

As you can see in the snapshot, the problem is that Paraview displays "0"
and "1" as node labels, instead of the original node IDs given in the
geometry file ("13" and "22").

This can be a problem for Ensight multi-part datasets where node IDs are
given to avoid duplicated IDs (for example: part1 has node IDs from 1 to
100, part2 from 101 to 200, ...). 

Thanks
Manuel Gonzalez
