Reverse Coordinate System Conversions When Writing
Description
When reading a LAS dataset, we have the option of converting the positions to metres for convenience for users. However this makes the points inconsistent with header information such as the bounding box and any coordinate system VLRs (OGC WKT format). To fix this, I've avoided messing around with the header stuff when we do the conversion, and instead made it so we keep track of conversion factors applied to points and just reverse this when it's time to write our data. This will mean users can read in a dataset in metres, do their analysis, then write it back in the same format they got it in
