Add color requirement note for point_cloud_viewer (#1424) 

I was running through these docs and having [trouble](https://github.com/googlecartographer/point_cloud_viewer/issues/389)
with map visualization via `point_cloud_viewer`.
Notably, color is required for plys ingested by `point_cloud_viewer` (in contrast to Meshlab).

This PR adds a note to make this clear.

Once you have the ``.ply``, follow the README of `point_cloud_viewer`_ to generate an on-disk octree data structure which can be viewed by one of the viewers (SDL or web based) in the same repo.
Note that color is required for ``point_cloud_viewer`` to function.
