ROS2 release support

WIP - testing branch to prepare a ROS2 release

[wxmerkt]

Okay, this will take a bit more time - I need to recursively release eigenpy and hpp-fcl first. Will update this PR once ready.

Thanks a lot @wxmerkt for the support of ROS-2.

@wxmerkt @jcarpent just wanted say I'm very much looking to the release in the ROS2 ecosystem. Let me know if I can help with the testing.

Thanks @VladimirIvan for your message. I'm finishing with #1723 and then I will provide a new release, hopefully today.

With #1720 merged and the recent release of EigenPy and HPP-FCL into all ROS2 distributions (bar Foxy for HPP-FCL for now), the CI should pass on this PR. Once it does, and once this one and #1723 are merged, we can make a release for ROS2.

There appears to be an issue with the environment hooks and I will have to make amendments to eigenpy, hpp-fcl. and pinocchio or patch all releases. This will require some time, so my guess would be either late this week or next week for me to get to this [each distro has to be patched individually]

[jcarpent]

@wxmerkt Should I proceed to a release?

[wxmerkt]

Let's wait until ros/rosdistro#34041 and ros/rosdistro#34040 are merged and available, then restart the failed rolling-CI job of this PR, then merge this PR, then make a release :-)

[And if this resolves the issue, then I will also manually patch the other distributions]

Hi,

We now have issues with an undefined bash variable on colcon jobs:

after_run_target_test
  
  $ ( source /root/target_ws/install/setup.bash && cd /root/target_ws/build/pinocchio && make test; )
  /root/target_ws/install/setup.bash: line 11: COLCON_TRACE: unbound variable
'after_run_target_test' returned with code '1' after 0 min 0 sec

[wxmerkt]

I'm aware of the issue and waiting for my patched EigenPy/HPP-FCL to get merged upstream

[jcarpent]

Fantastic @wxmerkt. Thanks a lot.
