This commit fixes an error whereby current the slice and tile ids
would be reset to zero at the start of each geometry slice, causing the
slice and tile ids set by the partitioning method to be overwritten.

Maintains contexts for:
 64->6:    0n, ud, 1n, 2nh, 2nv, 3n
 64->6->5: 0n, ud+1n, 2nh, 2nv, 3n
 64->6->3: 0n, ud+1n+2nh, 2nv+3n

Where ud = up/down,
      1n = single neighbour
      2nh = two horizontal neighbours
      2nv = two vertical neighbours
      3n = three neighbours
      0n = no neighbours

When the same geom_box_log2_scale is used for all slices, it is not
necessary to store them in slice headers.  This commit permits
signalling of the common value in the GPS.

This commit introduces prediction by previously coded points within
the same level of detail using the predicting attribute coder.
The feature is controlled using --intraLodPredictionEnabled=0|1.

This method has been replaced by an LoD decimation method.

This LoD generation (subsampling) method uses the Morton-based ordering
of points that is used to determine prediction neighbours.  Each LoD
level comprises 3/4 of the points of the previous.

This commit introduces zero run length coding for attribute residual
value along with an eq1 flag which indicates if residual value is equal
to 1 based on the current residual coding specification. In zero run
length coding, the number of zeros prior to each residual value is
counted as zerorun, and then zerorun is encoded instead of encoding
sequence of 0s

This commit permits signalling a per-slice delta QP for luma and
chroma attribute components.  The delta is relative to the base
value derived from the APS.

NB: while syntax support and derivation processes are provided,
this commit does not contain any method to control the delta
QP value at the encoder.

This commit introduces control of the quantisation step size using
the familiar HEVC | AVC quantisation parameter.

This commit adds an extra contextualisation bit for occupancy coding
based on there being an unoccupied adjacent child neighbour, rather
than just depending upon the number of occupied neighbours.

This proposal reduces the number of neighbour configurations used
in occupancy contextualisation from {10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 7, 5}
to {9, 9, 9, 9, 5, 5, 3, 2} by replacing the 64-to-10, 10-to-7,
and 10-to-5 mapping tables with 64-to-9, 9-to-5, and 9-to-3 tables.

This commit updates the geometry octree node occupancy map scan order
to permit better screening of b6 from the right.

The integration of m43781 fast lifting for lossy attributes removes the
need for PCCIncrementalKdTree3.

This function has never been used.

Since the implementation has no interaction with the FixedPoint class,
it makes little sense to name it so.

This is part of a series attempting to remove unhelpful typedefs.

The old typedefs (PCCBox3D) is retained for compatibility, but marked as
deprecated.

This commit fixes a failure to process a point cloud containing a
single point.

The commit adds a flag to conditionally enable/disable the feature.

This commit fixes a naming error where kMortonCode256X is used for
the z co-ordinate, and similarly for kMortonCode256Z.

This is part of a series that implements a single method of Cartesian to
Morton code conversion.

The ply-merge tool combines point clouds from multiple ply files into a
single output with an extra per-attribute frameindex property that
identifies which input frame each point belongs to.  The tool is also
able to reverse the process and split a merged point cloud into
individual frames.

This commit fixes the ability to code with neighbourAvailBoundaryLog2=0,
which correctly disabled the contextualisation based on externally
adjacent child neighbours, but failed to disable the atlas update.

This commit fixes an issue with the bytewise occupancy coder caused by
a mismatch (swapping) of the method arguments resulting in a corrupt
bitstream.

There should only be 41 entries, not 50 entries in the atan2 lookup

This partitioning method (--partitionMethod=3) decomposes the input
pointcloud into an octree of depth --partitionOctreeDepth=d, with
each leaf node corresponding to a slice.
