[Paraview] GetSources() fails with Custom Filters

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

I've committed a fix for this.

commit a573d3bafe54d5edf7ce49de9c46e6e91c52392b
Author: Utkarsh Ayachit <utkarsh.ayachit at kitware.com>

    Update python modules when proxy definitions are updated.

    Python modules are now updated when new custom proxies or proxies
from plugins
    are loaded.
