Filters renaming and categories update

Nicolas Vuaille requested to merge nicolas.vuaille/paraview:ProxyRenaming into master

Rename some filters to give them a more concise, meaningful name. Create new categories.

Filters renaming

At some point, we probably should update/create some guideline on how to name a proxy/filter.

For each filter renamed, the following files should be updated:

  • *.xml: the servermanager file declaring the proxy. This should keep a deprecated version with the previous name, inheriting the new.
  • ParaViewFilters.xml: to expose new proxy in ParaView GUI.
  • vtkSMStateVersionController.cxx for pvsm backward compatibility. It uses proxy name.
  • _backwardscompatibilityhelper.py for python backward compatibility. It uses proxy label.
  • proxy-deprecation.md to document the change in release note
  • Testing/*.xml (opt): the XML test(s) using this proxy
