ROS2 intergration

[apgeorg]

Hi there, do you have any plans about a ros2 integration?

[lreiher]

Yes, we currently have a WIP ROS2 version of mqtt_client for specific message types. We are still working on getting the generic publishers/subscribers to work. We are trying to release a ROS2 version as soon as possible.

@lreiher thank you!

Note that we now have a ROS2 branch and an almost ready PR #16. The PR is currently blocked by ros/rosdistro#36406. Until the PR in the rosdistro repository is resolved, the package will not be available for installation via apt, but can be built from source.
