[Paraview] capability to read data from big-endian machine

[Christopher Neal]

Hi Hedieh,

I know that you can create a request for this in the 'issues' tab of the
Paraview Gitlab repository. That is their formal system for tracking
feedback/issues related to Paraview

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

Best regards,
Chris
