Add OpenVDB library for "Water" data type

votes
OpenVDB is a well documented and actively developed open format for volumetrics. It'll be a very efficient format for all water tools in World Machine imo. Implementation could possibly happen in stages:
1. Water exports only
2. Internal caching of water data during high resolution build render
3. Simulations optimized using the library.
There's also "NanoVDB". Don't know much about this one yet, but it's GPU accelerated.
