0011696: add a hint tag to specify which array to use for default color of the output
Add a "Hint" tag that can be used in the xml files to specify a given array (typically, this would point to the "ActiveScalars", "ActiveVectors"... ).
This array will then be used to color the output by defaut.

hard-coding the array name could aslo be supported.
typical xml could look like :
<Hint>
  <ColorByAttribute
    attribute_association="point" <-- can be "point" or "cell"
    attribute_type="Vectors" <-- can be "Vectors" or "Scalars"
    attribute_name="blah" <-- hard code the array name / not compatible with the "attribute_type" tag.
    attribute_component="Magnitude"> <-- can be "Magnitude" (by default) or the component number
</Hint>
No tags attached.
