[Paraview] .ini File Change in Version 4.2

[Cory Quammen]

Hi Matthew,

Settings have been revamped since version 2.4. While some still are stored
in the usual .ini file, most are now stored in a JSON file which is
described on this blog post:

http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/672

While the blog post focuses on setting custom defaults, the general
settings are stored in the same way as custom defaults.

For the Auto Apply setting, your ParaView-UserSettings.json file will need
to have at least the following:

{
   "settings" : {
      "GeneralSettings" : {
         "AutoApply" : 1
      }
   }
}

To see what you should put in your ParaView-UserSettings.json file, it is
probably easiest to set them in the ParaView GUI and then close the
program. Your ParaView-UserSettings.json file will be updated with the JSON
you need.

I hope that helps,
Cory
