[Paraview] Removing support for legacy properties/display panels from ParaView

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

I recently posted to this email to paraview-developers list, only to
realize that there may be plugin developers who are not subscribed to
that list, hence I am reposting it here.

The original email was as under. One can follow the original thread

Folks,

I wanted to get a feel for what people think about removing the
support for old style panels from the next release of ParaView. The
new panels have been around for 3 releases now (since Dec 2012). We
are working on several cleanups to domains and other server manager
level components to better integrate with Python and it would be nice
to get rid of some of these obsolete components (which are quite a few
classes that are now primarily unused).

The next release is being targeted for Oct/Nov time frame.
