[Paraview] Changing the texture of a pqDataRepresentation

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

The texture property does not take a filename, it's a proxy-property
that needs a source that produces an image-data that can be used as
the texture. Look at code in
ParaView/Qt/Components/pqTextureComboBox.cxx to see how this is done
especially pqTextureComboBox::loadTexture(const QString& filename).
