I made a little headway on this bug. I wrote a class called vtkFileSeriesWriter which is the analog to vtkFileSeriesReader. This new class is attached (although is as of yet untested).

For now I am stopping here because I ran in to a stumbling block for implementing vtkSMFileSeriesWriterProxy. I discovered that whereas all readers use the same proxy object, there are 4 types of vtkSMWriterProxy objects (although 1 seems to be unused). The differences seem mostly concerned with providing extent (piece) information to the writers and handling the different conventions. How do we handle this? Do we provide a separate file series proxy for each of these writer proxy types? Do we do some consolidation? And how does the piece information get from vtkFileSeriesWriter to the actual writer? I would rather Utkarsh "the man" Ayachit make this determination than me.

Adding support to save temporal datasets as file series for legacy vtk and vtk-xml file formats. Cleaned up the writer proxies. Removed obsolete vtkPVSummaryHelper and vtkSMPVDWriterProxy. Now summary file is written by the root node alone.

Since this change is quite pervasive, I am not too comfortable committing to 3.6 branch without it having used and tested for a while. So delaying until 3.8 (or 3.6.2 is we the issues get cleaned up by then).

Looks like it works to me. Want to try to put it in 3.6.2?

Tested local server.
