[Paraview] Qt version support update 2016

[Mega Mind]

Have you or anyone successfully built and installed on Win7 64 with Visual
Studio 2015? I always get errors when building or opening the paraview.exe.
For Qt the 4.x versions seem to have only x86 installs but I installed 4.8
anyway. When trying Qt 5.7 I get a failed build with 3 errors and over 350
warnings. Also noted that in Cmake configure it would still reference Qt 4
even after setting Qt5_DIR Qt5Core_DIR Qt5Widgets_DIR  etc and changing all
paths to proper reference directories. The only fix was to uninstall Qt 4
but I was able to get a build with no errors when it was using both Qt 4 &
5 strangely but when opening paraview,exe the 'system error' message was
Qt5Widgets.dll does not exist. It does though and is in "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Qt\5.7\msvc2015_64\bin\" so I tried to manually change that in any
Cmake config file I could find but nothing worked out. I've tried hundreds
of things over the past three days and read and followed the wiki many
times and I'm coming to the conclusion no one is using Win 64 which seems
strange to me but I guess everyone is using Unix.
