[Paraview] Determine ParaView installation directory in Windows

[Robert Maynard]

Hello,

You have to go through the registry to find the correct path to the ParaView
installation. You will also have to consider
multiple installations of ParaView.

   - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Kitware Inc.\ParaView 3.8.X
   (64bit machines single user install)
   - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Kitware Inc.\ParaView 3.8.X (32bit machines
   single user install)
   - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Kitware Inc.\ParaView 3.8.X
   (64bit machines all users)
   - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Kitware Inc.\ParaView 3.8.X (32bit machines
   all users)
