Paraview recipe

[biddisco]

This PR build a minimal paraview using EGL on clariden.
It requires stackinator patch PR
eth-cscs/stackinator#129

[jfavre]

installation on ALPS will require two additional items for run-time enabling of the NVIDIA IndeX libraries and license.

• The lib package can be found in https://www.paraview.org/files/dependencies/nvidia-index-libs-5.12.0.20231121-linux-aarch64.tar.bz2. untar-ing the file can be done anywhere (presumably under the ParaView install tree), as long as the lib is found in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
• Access and installation of the license file (which is obtained by private request to NVIDIA using my email) is documented at https://confluence.cscs.ch/display/VCUE/NVIDIA+IndeX. Thus, the environment variable NVINDEX_PVPLUGIN_HOME shall be set where the file nvindex_config.xml gets installed.

I've just tried to build it manually on eiger, there is an error compiling h5hut on zen2 too.

fix-threads.patch doesn't apply in the stackinator build:

Lookis like current ispc@main doesn't require fix-threads.patch anymore.

[biddisco]

h5hut was removed from the recipe already.
The ispc patch is probably caused by a newer version ispc being available. I will fix. On my laptop it seems I don't need it any more. Will push changes asap

The paraview binaries from /user-environment/ParaView-5.13/bin seem not to be contained in the both environments.

PATH in /user-environment/env/paraview-python/activate.sh and in /user-environment/env/paraview-zen2-osmesa/activate.sh both contain /dev/shm/jenkssl/paraview/5.13.1/1560901029/spack/bin.

Also there is a directory temp left in /user-environment.
