[Paraview] ParaView 4.1.0 server-side reader plugin

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Burlen,

It would work for everything, but for plugins that really need
client-side plugin to be loaded e.g. representation plugins, view
plugins, you should not do this. In other words, any plugin that only
is needed on the data processing side should indeed always use
REQUIRED_ON_SERVER flag. Anything else, shouldn't.
