[Paraview] Custom Glyph

[David Lonie]

I'm currently working on adding the ability to use custom glyphs with
ParaView's glyph mapper. It will allow you to select a pipeline connection
for the glyph type (rather than the static list of arrow, sphere, etc).

Should be available in the next few weeks.
