Feature: New algorithm Climb Along Line

Previously available as a plugin, the "Climb Along Line" algorithm has been added to the out-of-the-box QGIS toolset. This algorithm calculates the accumulated height differences for lines in an input line layer, calculated using the Z values of the line vertices. A copy of the input line layer is returned with additional attributes for accumulated climb and descent, as well as the minimum and maximum Z values for each line.

This feature was developed by Håvard Tveite (NMBU) and Matteo Ghetta (Faunalia)
