[Paraview] Automatic connect to Catalyst

[Arno Mayrhofer]

Utkarsh,

thanks for your reply. As you suggested I opened the following issue on 
your gitlab page:

https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/17037

Unfortunately I do not have time to devote to resolving this issue 
myself currently. Whether or not that will change is unclear at the moment.

Thanks,
Arno
