Add a pdal plugin relying on vtkPDALReader

[Meakk]

Context
F3D is great to visualize point-cloud but supports a limited number of file formats.
VTK has a PDAL wrapper that could be integrated easily in F3D as long as the VTK IOPDAL module can be easily built.

PDAL supported file formats: https://pdal.io/stages/readers.html#readers
VTK IOPDAL module: https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/tree/master/IO/PDAL

Suggested solution

• Add a new pdal plugin that relies on the vtkPDALReader.
• Add CI logic to test the new plugin (optional)
• Add PDAL to the f3d-superbuild (optional)

Notes

• See the vdb plugin for inspiration, it should be pretty similar
