[Paraview] Attach arrows onto streamlines/stream tubes more smoothly

I think it is because you have set the Shaft radius to 0. The start of the
arrow doesn't appear because of this and I'm suspecting that the start of
the arrow is centered along the streamline. Maybe try using using either a
non-zero value for the Shaft radius that is bigger than the Tube radius or
use the Cone glyph type instead.
