[Paraview] Paraview 5.0.1 - Registering new view

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

You just need to tell ParaView which pqView subclass to create for
your view proxy e.g. if pqContextView class would work for your case,
then you'd add something like the following in your CMakeList.txt

add_pqproxy(OUTIFACES OUTSRCS
   TYPE pqContextView
   XML_GROUP views
   XML_NAME ARAXYChartView)
