[Paraview] PV 3.10.1 computing vorticity from vector field

[Andy Bauer]

For computing vorticity, depending on the grid type you can also use the
Gradient of Unstructured Datasets filter.  There is an option to compute
vorticity for 3 component arrays (i.e. velocity).    It works on both point
data and cell data and the output will be the same type of field data.  I'm
about to change this filter so that it will work with all types of VTK
grids.
