Consider adding support for the tag16h5 family #33

Hello,

Currently, the only tag family supported by this project is tag36h11. It was mentioned in issue #12 that there were plans to implement the detection of other tag families. If this is still planned, I would like to propose the addition of the tag16h5 family due to its use in FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC).

FRC is a yearly robotics competition that centers around a specific challenge played on a standardized field. On FRC fields, tag16h5 tags are set up around the field in specified positions that allow robots to determine their pose. See the official field marking guide to see how they were used in this year's challenge, especially page four, where AprilTags are covered in detail. There has been interest in the FRC community about using this software to estimate robot poses during matches by running it on Jetson hardware. However, this is not possible with this version of the software due to the tag16h5 family not being supported.

I know that NVIDIA has supported FRC before, and I would be grateful if the ISAAC ROS team would consider adding this.

Thanks.
