Look for site settings in usual Application dir. Rework path finding

Nicolas Vuaille requested to merge nicolas.vuaille/paraview:site-settings into master
  • QSettings provides mechanism to look for system (aka "site") settings as fallback from usual user settings. But default paths are only system paths (see QSettings::setPath). ParaView will now consider the usual application directories.

Those application directories can now accessed through a new vtkPVStandardPaths API, that unifies this kind of access.

Note that ParaView requires the settings to be under a subdirectory named according to QApplication::OrganizationName()
