lidRviewer 1.0.0 announcement

[Jean-Romain]

The devel branch contains the version 1.0.0 which is complete redesign of the package. @H4estu @caiohamamura @ptompalski @liamirwin may I ask you to test it and provide feedback. It is designed to efficiently display arbitrarily large in-memory point clouds, with tested cases including over 130 million points.
