When transferring trajectories with many waypoints it can take quite a
while until all points are transferred from the controller to the
hardware interface, especially on lower hardware_interface update rates.
With this change, execution starts as soon as enough trajectory points
are transferred to fill 5 control cycles.
This PR effectively allows reducing the hardware_interface update_rate
when using the passthrough_trajectory_controller significantly. This
will reduce the networking requirements improving the overall user
experience.
