NVIDIA/ncore v19.8.0 on GitHub

This is a minor follow up to the model API generalizations already introduced in v19.7.0:

LidarModelParameters declares get_vertical_fov and get_horizontal_fov. Every lidar has a vertical and a horizontal field of view, whatever its scanning design, the same way every camera has a resolution, but both were previously declared only on
RowOffsetStructuredSpinningLidarModelParameters. There was no way to ask an arbitrary lidar for its field of view, and a second model could have arrived with a different spelling or none at all.
The implementation stays on the row-offset model. It derives the vertical extent from row_elevations_rad and the horizontal one from column_azimuths_rad and row_azimuth_offsets_rad, all of which exist only there. A model with a different scanning design
derives the same two quantities from whatever it stores, which is the reason the contract belongs on the base and the derivation does not.
Concrete lidar parameter classes must now implement both, as they already must implement type. Every model in NCore does, and no out-of-tree lidar model exists yet, so nothing outside this repository is affected.
