[Paraview] Add Icon to a Custom Applications (PV 3.8.0)

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

I've extended the example under
ParaView/Examples/CustomApplication/Spreadsheet to demonstrate how to
change the application icon. Attached is a patch with relevant code
that was added for the same.

    Demonstrates how to add a main-window icon.

    Also demonstrates how to add custom resources to a custom application.
