[Paraview] povray exporter

[David E DeMarle]

Upon further inspection, it will draw color mapped scalars (of any
type), but not if VTK is mapping scalar values before coloring
(vtkMapper::InterpolateScalarsBeforeMapping).

In ParaView that setting is controlled by the  Interpolate Scalars
checkbox on the Display tab.
