[Paraview] Building paraview with piston -- enabling GPGPU support

[David E DeMarle]

What you are seeing is that piston has evolved since the we wrote the vtk
module that interfaces to it. I think the same is true of thrust evolving
since piston 0.4. So, in order to make it work without modifying the code,
you will need to use older versions.

Instead of doing that, I recommend you look into vtk-m project instead.
This is the successor to the since deprecated PISTON and DAX projects.
