[Paraview] Force remote rendering on pvserver

[Kit Chambers]

Thanks Uktarsh. Am I correct in thinking that OSMesa is required if there
is no graphics card on the server? What about if there is a graphics card
and display for the server but no one using the display (i.e. a remote
workstation I can access through SSH)? This is one situation I have. I
guess a similar situation might occur if the pvserver is in fact a remote
HPC server with high end GPU's you would like to use for rendering?
