[Paraview] opening legacy vtk files

[Andy Bauer]

Hi,

Attached is what I changed in order to get ParaView to load the file. Note
that VTK uses C indexing style (i.e. starting at 0). The CELL_TYPES array
shouldn't be removed. There were other changes as well so you should
probably do a diff on the two versions to figure out the difference.
