[Paraview] name blocks or sets and export them in X3D files

[Berk Geveci]

You cannot name blocks with a filter but you can name them if the reader
supports this feature. I believe a few readers support this feature - the
EnSight reader for example. I don't think the X3D exporter knows anything
about blocks though. It exports the scene directly and the geometry from the
blocks is merged before it makes it into the scene.
