v1.4.0

What's Changed

New commands:

• compare - finds distance between two point clouds using M3C2 algorithm - by @JanCaha in #83

Fixes:

• VPC support improvements by @JanCaha in #82
  • Fix wrong suffix for COPC files to properly be set to .copc.laz
  • Set the default format of individual files in VPC to COPC (previously the default was LAS). Tools like QGIS will immediately be able to display the data. Previously with VPC linking LAS files, QGIS would only show bounding boxes and extra step (conversion to COPC) was needed to be able to view the data.
  • Rename output-format CLI argument to vpc-output-format for clarity
