[Paraview] Dropping Snow Leopard OsX binaries for ParaView

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Folks,

I'd like to revisit this thread to review if we still need to continue
building binaries for 10.5 (Snow Leopard). Apple has stopped
supporting it since February 26, 2014 (the last security update
happened in September 2013).
