Recently `taanab` ran out of disk space, causing builds to fail. I presume to save space the superbuild that provided osmesa was removed. This caused the osmesa builds to fail, obviously.

I restored a stripped down superbuild with only the `ENABLE_osmesa` option on. This provides the OSmesa library under `/home/kitware/code/pvsb/build-mesa/install`, fixing the osmesa build issue.

There were a few tests consistently failing on this dashboard. On closer inspection, it was due to the fact that this SB built a Python (which is needed for mesa build). ParaView builds ended up finding this Python instead on the one of the system causing the [issues](https://open.cdash.org/viewTest.php?onlyfailed&buildid=6382103). I’m rebuilding the superbuild with `USE_SYSTEM_python2=ON`. Hopefully that gets this dashboard back to green.
