  Log Message:
  -----------
  Update PCL pipeline spec/implementation (#1439)

* PCL JSON specification is simplified - the heart of the former pipeline, the
  "filters" array is now THE pipeline

* PCL pipeline can be embedded directly in a PDAL pipeline by providing PCL
  JSON as "methods" option to filters.pclblock (avoiding "filters" to avoid
  confusion with PDAL filters)

* PCL pipeline can still be provided as a separate file

* PCL JSON no longer accepted as escaped string passed via the "json" option to
  filters.pclblock

* PCL filters ConditionalRemoval and NormalEstimation had been disabled for
  some time - remove them

* Remove ability to tile the data in filters.pclblock, which was untested, and
  can be done in the PDAL pipeline

* Update documentation throughout
