Summary0009849: Contour creates normals from AMR data, whether desired or not.
DescriptionParaView 3.6.2, XP, local server.
Open Dave's small cth dataset. Only Material Volume Fraction 2 on. Apply.
Cell to Point filter.
Contour filter. Contour on Material Volume Fraction 2. Turn OFF compute normals. Apply.
You can still color by normals. If you ask to not have normals, they should not be generated (and thus taking up memory).

Since this is the main way we visualize LARGE data, this should be fixed for 3.8.

The issue has nothing to do with Contour but with Geometry filter. The geometry filter computers cell normals by default. The question is why (is has been doing that since 2.*). Don't think there's any need for that. We should disable it.

Now the cell normals array is created really only on demand.

Changes were made to

* ParaView/Servers/Filters/vtkPVGeometryFilter.cxx

and accordingly the following test files and / baseline images were updated.

* ParaView/Applications/ParaView/Testing/Python/FileSeries.py
* ParaView/Applications/ParaView/Testing/XML/ExodusIIPanel.xml
* ParaView/Applications/ParaView/Testing/XML/UndoRedo2.xml
* ParaView/Applications/ParaView/Testing/XML/VariableSelector.xml

* ParaViewData/Baseline/D3SmallCells.png
* ParaViewData/Baseline/LoadState.png
* ParaViewData/Baseline/ProxyPropertyLinks.png
* ParaViewData/Baseline/VariableSelector.png

committed to the Git repository.
