[Paraview] Building ParaView v5.1.2 on Linux from source with support for GPU and SWR.

[David E DeMarle]

I recommend the ParaView superbuild. All of the incantations that we use to
setup and build paraview, mesa and the rest of our dependencies are written
down and maintained there.

https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild

We've used it for our Desktop binaries for years, and more and more often
we use it for our HPC installs as well.
