I changed the GlobalAttributes and forgot to update the java and python
files. This adds those changes.

I made some changes to build_visit so that it can build uintah on edge.

an attribute to the global attributes.

1) I added a "--parallel-launch" argument to runtest. Valid values are 
   "mpirun" and "srun".

2) I modified the scalable rendering test to use srun to launch the parallel
   engine on edge.

Fix dup error

1) I modified the internal launcher to pass the "HOME" environment variable
   to the parallel runtime environment.

2) I modified the edge regression suite to use srun to launch parallel jobs
   since we are now using mpich2 on edge and it requires srun to launch a
   parallel job.

3) I rebuilt all the third party libraries on edge for 2.8 and modified the
   config site file to point to it. I also added uintah library and switched
   to mpich2.

I rebaselined some results that changed when I passed along the HOME
environment to the parallel runtime environment.

1) I rebuilt all the third party libraries on rzzeus for the 2.8.0 release
   and updated the config site file.

2) I modified the silo build in build_visit to add the json library to the
   config site file.
