Pipeline Upgrades

[contagon]

This PR makes a handful of upgrades to the pipeline class. This will make some breaking changes, but I don't think we have many users yet, so now is the time! Specifically,

• add_lidar and map both now return dictionaries of points to enable visualizing the different features found in the pipeline.
• rerun visualizing has been updated to handle these features.
• rerun visualizer also now uses distinctipy to ensure we are utilizing distinct colors in rerun. No more similar colors! 🎉
• New EVALIO_PARSE_PARAMS macro that automatically implements both default_params and set_params. This should help ensure there isn't any discrepancy between the two functions and remove probably the most tedious part of writing a pipeline wrapper.
• As part of this, the python parser now receives back any unused parameters and errors out. This should have been caught earlier, but just in case we double check.

I think that's about it. More to come!

Pull Request Overview

This PR makes significant upgrades to the pipeline system to improve visualization and parameter handling. The changes enable better feature visualization through distinct colors and introduce a new macro system for parameter management.

• Updated add_lidar and map methods to return dictionaries of feature types instead of flat point lists
• Enhanced rerun visualization with distinctipy for distinct colors and improved feature rendering
• Introduced EVALIO_PARSE_PARAMS macro to streamline parameter definition and reduce boilerplate code
