[Paraview] Change to ParaView plugins

[Andy Bauer]

Hi,

With today's gatekeeper review, the way reader and writer plugins are
handled in ParaView has changed. Now, they only need to be specified on the
server through the server manager XML. The Hints section of the XML
specifies what extensions to associate with the reader or the writer. The
advantage to this is that the client doesn't need to have it's own
definition of the reader or writer in order to associate an extension with
a reader or writer. This means that any client can connect to a server (of
the same ParaView version) and have all of the readers and writers that are
available on the server shown in the GUI. As an added bonus, it takes 2
less clicks to load a reader or writer plugin properly when connected to a
remote server!

I've updated the wiki documentation at
http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo#Adding_a_Reader.
