Catalyst IOSS Adapter Python Imports

Created by: jrood-nrel

@tjotaha @jeffmauldin I have one more question about the Catalyst IOSS adapter. I am working on a pull request for Spack regarding this here https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/10501 that might give some more information. Basically if I don't have the Paraview site-packages/vtkmodules in the PYTHONPATH, then the phactori.py file can't import vtkParallelCorePython:

/python/phactori.py", line 1897, in SmartGetLocalProcessId
    import vtkParallelCorePython
ImportError: No module named vtkParallelCorePython

Would the better fix be to update the import in the IOSS adapter to account for this, or will the vtkmodules be required in the PYTHONPATH when loading a Paraview module?
