[pdal] filters reprojection problem

[Jim Klassen]

I'm not sure the "right" answer, but I got around that (first) error by specifying the full path to the geoidgrid file.  This required specifying the proj string (instead of the EPSG string) in the reprojection "out_srs" field.

I also specified the equivalent EPSG string in the "a_srs" field of the writer to make sure I got the standard metadata.  I'm not 100% sure this step is necessary.
