0009405: Add vtkLidarScanner to VTK
I have written a synthetic LiDAR scanner as a VTK filter.

The inputs are:

- Scanner position (3D coordinate)
- Min/Max phi angle (how far "up and down" the scanner should scan)
- Min/Max theta angle (how far "left and right" the scanner should scan)
- Scanner "forward" (the phi=0, theta=0 direction)
- Angular sample spacing or number of points to acquire in the theta and phi directions (so the "grid" is a total of (num_theta x num_phi) points)
- A polydata of a scene to scan
- A flag to specify creation of a mesh or not

The outputs are:
- A polydata file that is simply an unorganized point cloud of the scan returns.
- OR A polydata file that is a mesh of the scan returns.

The code is here:

Thanks,

David
