[Paraview] saving plugin defaults

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

pqApplication::instance()->settings() with provide you access to a
QSettings subclass (pqSettings). You can add arbitrary key/value pairs
to it. A plugin can be assured that the correct settings will be
loaded and saved every time ParaView is started (unless it crashes of
course).
