[pdal] PLY Writer

[Andrew Bell]

1) Yes, the documentation is wrong in that the "default" option is not
supported.
2) No, there is no way to specify the output types for the PLY writer.  If
PCX cannot read double-precision floating point, I would open a ticket with
that application. However, this ticket seems to indicate that it has
double-precision floating point support:
