Configurable Proxy Categories

The ParaView Filters menu presents filters through a list of categories. Those submenus can now be configured and can be nested

Go to the Tools / Configure Categories dialog to create your own tree of categories. Also, filters that are not part of a category are automatically added to a Miscellaneous section.
