[pdal] write an in-memory array of points to a writer ... using Python bindings

[Adam Steer]

I've wondered if it would be too onerous to supply a mapping document for generic HDF5/NetCDF4 io - for example:

pdal translate in.hdf5 out.laz —hdf5-dimension-to-pdal-dimension-map=‘hdf5map.json’

pdal translate in.laz out.hdf5 —hdf5-dimension-to-pdal-dimension-map=‘hdf5map.json’

since netCDF4 is a specific way of writing a HDF5 file, using an appropriate map-of-dimensions and naming the result ‘out.nc’ might work.

would it need to tackle internal chunking? maybe. And likley more things I have not considered.
