Add spatial database implementation for interpolation via radial basis functions for 2-D and 3-D

[baagaard]

Add option to use radial basis functions for 2-D and 3-D interpolation. This will allow interpolation from any point cloud.

Compute length scale based on RMS distance to N nearest points?
Use user-specified length scale (would not work well for highly variable spacing)?

If we wanted another dependency, we could use PetRBF here.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
