[pdal] Move to Github?

[Howard Butler]

Yes, I forgot about hg on Google Code too, but it doesn't support the ideas of harmless forking and push/pull changeset requests.  github would others that aren't so connected with our community to participate at a coding level in a way that hg on BitBucket, Google Code, or hosted by ourselves can't support.

Bitbucket is Mercurial-based, but I've had trouble with downtime with it, and github is rocking the house.  Note that I don't know squat about git, and i'll be learning it as I go, but it is similar to hg in many concepts and ideas (and more powerful too -- at a usability cost).
