A new native processing provider has been provided for point cloud algorithms, in line with QEP 263.
Under the hood provider utilizes the pdal_wrench command line tool and currently supports the following algorithms:

• Information: outputs a basic metadata of the point cloud (number of points, extent, crs, etc)
• Convert format: convert point cloud to a different format, e.g. las to laz
• Reproject: reproject point cloud to a different CRS
• Fix projection: fix (assign) CRS of a point cloud file
• Clip: clip point cloud by clipping polygon(s)
• Merge: merge multiple point clouds in a single file
• Tile: create tiles from input data
• Thin: create a thinned version of the point cloud
• Boundary: export vector layer containing point cloud boundaries
• Density: export a raster file where each cell contains number of points that are in that cell's area
• Export to raster: export point cloud data to a 2D raster grid
• Export to vector: export point cloud data to a vector layer with 3D points
• Export to raster (TIN): export point cloud data to a 2D raster grid using a triangulation of points
• Filer: extract subset from the point cloud using PDAL expressions

As pdal_wrench requires PDAL >= 2.5.0, the new processing provider will be available only where the PDAL version requirement is satisfied.
