[Paraview] Upgrade NumPy 1.8.x → 1.10.x or greater

[Bane Sullivan]

Would it be possible to upgrade the NumPy that gets shipped with ParaView
binaries?

NumPy has tons of really great features that come around release 1.10 and
later which I heavily use and I think users would greatly benefit from
having a newer version of NumPy in ParaView's site-packages.

I simply propose NumPy-v1.10.x as a new minimum.

I usually delete ParaView’s version of NumPy and create a symbolic link to
a python 2.7 numpy I have installed in a lightweight virtual environment. I
haven’t had any trouble using newer versions of NumPy so I am curious why
ParaView still ships with numpy-v1.8.1?

I have also created an issue on GitLab:

Thanks,
