[pdal] Trouble reading projection from some 3DEP tiles

[Jim Klassen]

I've noticed that for some of the 3DEP tiles that PDAL doesn't calculate 
a 4326 BBOX.  This seems to be related to Proj not liking the how the 
projection is specified in the LAZ file.  If I force the projection as 
EPSG:6344+5703 in the reader then "pdal info" works as expected.  My 
main question is how can I tell if the issue is with the CRS in the LAZ 
file or the problem is with PDAL/Proj not being flexible enough in 
parsing the CRS?

Steps to reproduce:
     wget 
https://rockyweb.usgs.gov/vdelivery/Datasets/Staged/Elevation/LPC/Projects/MN_UpperMissRiver_B22/MN_UpperMissRiver_2_B22/LAZ/USGS_LPC_MN_UpperMissRiver_B22_334_5271.laz

     pdal info --all USGS_LPC_MN_UpperMissRiver_B22_334_5271.laz

Observations:
     Under "stac" there is a error with message "Failed to create STAC 
Feature with missing key. 'EPSG:4326'".

     Under stats.bbox there is no 4326 bbox calculated.

And with --verbose 8 I get:
