This PR is ready to merge.

NOTE: this is a duplicate of #1643 which was automatically closed when the dev-unstable-pointers branch was deleted. See discussions on that PR.

Feature or improvement description
This allows visualizing a slice through hub-height (or other height) when comparing with a simulation. The user can specify the height at which to export the slice. At the moment it is a very slow process due to the looping and because it exports over the entire time range (this could be improved later).

Screenshot 2023-06-21 at 2 26 44 PM
This figure shows the XY plane at the hub height for a Mann wind field (HAWC format). The vertical plane is exported from the driver using the WrVTK option. Both are taken at 23.625 seconds.

Related issue, if one exists
#1643

Impacted areas of the software
InflowWind driver only

Additional supporting information
During testing of the wake added turbulence feature, I ran into issues in verifying that the background turbulence was being added correctly. To check this, I needed some way to visualize the XY plane through the hub from the Mann box turbulence.

Test results, if applicable
No test cases are affected. I did not add a test case for this since it is a very slow code to execute.

Due to time and funding constraints, we will not add the other output planes. There are placeholders in the code for now, and IfW driver input file supports this, but those will have to be filled out at a later time.
