[Rock-dev] draft for a new base type SonarScan

[Alexander Duda]

Hi 

I would like to add a new type SonarScan to rock base types.
The idea behind this new data type is that: 
* imaging sonars can directly store their data
* support for sector scan sonars (n x SonarBeams = 1 x SonarScan)
* support for the transformer in the case of sector scan sonars
  * time stamp for each stored sonar beam
* memory layout matches normal images
  * resize
  * filtering
  * multi-resolution 
  
A draft + unit test can be find on the branch sonar_scan.

Any comments are welcome.
Alex
