HELIOS writes LAS 1.0 instead of 1.4 if `lasOutput` is set

[han16nah]

The problem It is stated that HELIOS++ writes LAS 1.4 by default if --lasOutput is specified (unless --las10 is explicitly set). However, HELIOS++ writes LAS 1.0. I checked with lasinfo by LAStools.

Snippet of the output:

reporting all LAS header entries:
  file signature:             'LASF'
  file source ID:             0
  global_encoding:            0
  project ID GUID data 1-4:   00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
  version major.minor:        1.0
  system identifier:          ''
  generating software:        'HELIOS++V1.1.1'
  file creation day/year:     302/2022

How to reproduce

1. Run any survey with the current HELIOS++ version and use the lasOutput flag, e.g.: run\helios data\surveys\toyblocks\als_toyblocks.xml --lasOutput
2. Check the header of the output files, e.g. with lastools: lasinfo -i output\toyblocks_als\2022-10-30_20-37-15\leg000_points.las --> Reports version major.minor: 1.0

Expected behavior HELIOS++ writes LAS 1.4 if --lasOutput is set (and --las10 is not).

Actual behavior HELIOS++ always writes LAS 1.0 if --lasOutput is set, even if --las10 is not set.

Environment:

• OS: Windows 10
• HELIOS++/pyhelios version (or Git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.1.1

Additional context Maybe the problem was introduced with the File Management System. When we still wrote the output into the "Survey Playback" folder, H++ still correctly wrote LAS 1.4 (I checked with old output files I have locally).

@albertoesmp Now LAS 1.4 is written by default, however, the gps_time is missing in the LAS files

LAS 1.4 has been updated from point format 0 to point format 6 to include mandatory GPS time (https://github.com/3dgeo-heidelberg/helios/commit/106191c00b41074462d536acb2e9d670797153f2).
