[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: Bug in contour filter for version 3.12 not present in 3.10

[Moreland, Kenneth]

I believe this change is intentional.  When you run the clip filter, it
turns the data set into an unstructured grid.  The unstructured version of
contour always computes scalars, so that checkbox has no effect.  To
demonstrate that the checkbox has no effect, it is now grayed out.
