[Paraview] Vector export in ParaView

[David E DeMarle]

SVG export will be coming in PV4.0 for both scivis and chart views.

You can try it now by building git master, or more simply by
downloading the nightly binary package from one of the machines in the
superbuild section of the paraview dashboard at:

I read something about a patch written by Sven Buijssen, and supposedly there used to be a branch which included this patch (https://github.com/demarle/ParaView/branches/vector-graphics-export), but it appears not to be in use anymore.
