Fix bare pointer in topic_tools::ShapeShifter #1722

The copy constructor and copy assignment operator on the ShapeShifter class were wrong because the class was using a bare pointer for its internal buffer. This was manifesting itself as double-free's for copy-assigned ShapeShifter objects. This PR switches to using a std::vector, so the constructors are automatically handled correctly.

All the tests pass, and this has been verified to fix the issue running in a real node with the AddressSanitizer enabled.

Although this is a nice improvement, this introduces an ABI-break. But the alternative would be to implement copy-constructors and such for ShapeShifter, which would also break API, so this might be the best possible fix.

+1 to this change. ABI break is a bummer, but the most significant consumers of this class are rosbag and the tools in this same package, so it should be possible to bump it without affecting too many users, provided there's a conflict added to this package for the current rosbag, forcing them to upgrade together.

Other affected users I'm aware of include rosserial_server, ros_type_introspection, and variant.

@dirk-thomas @jacobperron I have locally a fix for the bare pointer handling for melodic which should retain ABI. I've just added proper copy- and move- constructors and assignment operators and now ShapeShifter behaves correctly. Is my reasoning correct that adding these 4 functions will not change ABI? Should I invest time into making a PR to melodic-devel, or is it already doomed with the EOL date closing in?
