[Paraview] 3.14.0 - running parallel on a Mac

[David E DeMarle]

I didn't build the Mac binaries with MPI this time around (3.12's
didn't have it either, because OSX10.7 Lion doesn't come with MPI
anymore).

So unfortunately you have to compile a server from source and enabled
MPI in it for now and connect to that from the pre-built client.

We plan to resolve this in the next release.
