[Paraview] steps to add class with ClientServer and Python wrapping

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Where are you adding your classes? If you add them to one of the "modules"
e.g. ParaViewCore/VTKExtensions/Default, you'd only need to add them to the
CMakeLists.txt and they'd get wrapped. You'll then need to add a XML config
for the proxy e.g
in ParaViewCore/ServerManager/SMApplication/Resources/filters.xml. That
should be it.

Another option is to add a new module. You can also add a new "module". See
`ParaViewCore/VTKExtensions/Points/`. You can have the source directory
external to your ParaView source, and in your build simply set
`PARAVIEW_EXTERNAL_MODULE_ROOTS` CMake cache variable in your ParaView
build to include the directory containing your new module's dir. You will
need to manually enable the module in CMakeLists.txt as well as ParaView
wont' enable it by default.
