Moving MIP from being a gitlab feature request (unfunded) to a discourse discussion.

> Please implement Maximum Intensity Projections (MIP). @kmorel knows what this is. Here are a few of his notes to me over skype: Maximum intensity projection is a way to do volume rendering (sort of). Short answer, I don’t think that is exposed in ParaView. Longer answer of what MIP is. In our volume rendering we use an absorption - emission model where as light passes through the volume, some of the light gets reduced (absorbed) and other light gets added (emission). In MIP, as the ray pass…
