Draft: Packaging: Add partial support for delayed_load plugins

Mathieu Westphal (Kitware) requested to merge mwestphal/paraview-superbuild:partial_support_delayed_load into master

This adds partial support for delayed_load plugin in the ParaView superbuild. Please note this is not used by any packaged plugins yet but will be soon in ttk.

In order to support delayed_load plugin this add:

  • Packaging XML files installed inside of a plugin folder (which DELAYED_LOAD mechanism do)
  • When crafting the paraview plugin configuration file, look for a plugin_name.plugins.xml and use it instead of crafting the line manually
  • Improve README.md
