[Paraview] connectiong to pvserver from an external python shell

[David E DeMarle]

ParaView's server can not handle and will not accept connections from more
than one client at a time.

Utkarsh has been working on architectural changes to allow that, but they
will not be ready until after 3.8 to the best of my knowledge.
