Catalyst Live: improve connect/disconnect mechanism

Lucas Givord requested to merge lucas.givord/paraview:catalyst_server_improvements into master

Previously, there was no button in the Catalyst toolbar to disconnect to a catalyst server. User can only do that by using the Files > Disconnect button which disconnect only the active server. If it disconnects the wrong server, the simulation can hang indefinitely.

Now, there is a dedicate button Catalyst > Disconnect which make sure to disconnect only the catalyst server. If a user tries to disconnect by using the previous method it will have a warning saying to use this new button instead.

Other fixes

  • fix also a crash regarding the pqSelectionEditor when the active server changed to a catalyst server
  • ensure that when we connect/disconnect, the state will be correctly discarded only when it's necessary. Previously, the pipeline used by the simulation could be override and destroy by the pipeline of the live visu
  • clean some dead code
