PCD Format

Format description here: https://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/pcd_file_format.html, with reasoning and positioning wrt to older formats like stl, obj, ply, x3d, ...

Use pcd v0.7+
pcd format is commonly used for both export and import
The standard set by PointCloudLibrary.
- Same structure as work previously done on Caesar._PCL
- Also found a BSD Python2 code we can leverage if necessary: https://github.com/dimatura/pypcd
