[Paraview] Linking to Catalyst

Hmm, that could be a bug in the superbuild. The superbuild arguments aren't
all passed to the ParaView build itself and it could be that this option
was missing for the PV specific build part. Instead of doing the whole
build from scratch, I'd suggest you just search for the
ParaViewConfig.cmake file to find where PV was actually built and just
point to that.
