[Paraview] Bad reader names in paraview.simple (Was: using with python to read file VTK in 3.4 and 3.5)

[Berk Geveci]

These issues should be fixed. I made a pass over the XML labels (which
are now used by the simple and servermanager modules). I will send out
a separate e-mail on the Python changes in 3.5 and 3.6.
