[Paraview] simple vs servermanager python module

[Sebastien Jourdain]

The simple module provide an easier API compare to the servermanager one.
But simple use servermanager internaly in order to expose "simple" usage.
By default you should use simple and eventually use the servermanager one
when or if needed.
