To augment the Cherab plasma object with the impurity data from ERO 2.0 runs, I need a discrete interpolator for regular cylindrical meshes. Although this interpolator is primarily needed for Cherab, I think it might be general enough to be included in Raysect.
The field of application of such interpolators is narrower than that of Discrete3DMesh, but the cell index calculation in case of regular meshes is much faster compared to K-d tree search and inside-outside test for tetrahedra.
@CnlPepper, do you think it's worth adding these interpolators to Raysect? If so, I'll make the interpolators for vector data as well and add tests and demos.

So far I have implemented an interpolator for regular Cartesian 3D mesh along with inrpolators for cylindrical meshes, both periodic and non-periodic in azimuth. All of them are for scalar data for now. Here is the code, https://github.com/vsnever/raysect-source/commit/e5aa0597a4cec1674e613c95507a831c6f8ff57d.
