Previously, only `,` was a valid delimiter, but it's also common to have e.g.
tab or semicolon. Only single characters are supported as delimiters. A few
characters are not allowed because they have other meanings: `\n`, `\r`, `"`,
`\\`.
Note: The best way to get a tab character is the use the Special Characters node
currently.

This avoids computing the bounding box later (if the positions are not changed).
Since the positions are are zero, the bounding box is just the origin point too.
The position attribute was not initialized in parallel. Also there was an accidental
single threaded copy of each attribute because a `std::move` didn't work because
the variable was `const`.
Though "Point Cloud" written as two words is technically correct and should be used in the UI, as one word it's typically easier to write and parse when reading. We had a mix of both before this patch, so better to unify this as well.
This commit also renames the editor/intern/ files to remove pointcloud_ prefix.
point_cloud was only preserved on the user facing strings:
* is_type_point_cloud
* use_new_point_cloud_type

This reimplements the CSV parser used by the (still experimental) Import CSV
node.
Reliability is improved by:
* Properly handling quoted fields.
* Unit tests.
* Generalizing the parser to be able to handle customized delimiter, quote and
escape characters (those are not exposed in the node yet though).
* More accurate detection of column types by actually taking all values of a
column into account instead of only the first row.
Performance is improved by designing the parser in a way that supports
multi-threaded parsing. I'm measuring about 5x performance improvement which
mainly comes from multi-threading. Some files I wanted to use for benchmarking
didn't load in the version that's in `main` but do load fine with this new
version.
The implementation is now split up into two parts:
1. A general CSV parser in `blenlib` that manages splitting a buffer into
records and their fields.
2. Application specific parsing of fields into e.g. floats and integers which
remains in `io/csv/importer`.
This separation simplifies unit testing and makes the core code more reusable.

Remove intermediate `CsvData` struct and create a point cloud
directly instead. Though the bottleneck is almost certainly parsing
the file, this removes a copy for the attribute values and reduces
peak memory usage.
Also do some small cleanups to the import process: use C++
casting, prefer StringRef over std::string, remove unnecessary
whitespace, and remove non-helpul comments.
