Feature description

It could be very useful if slam_toolbox would accept PointCloud2 messages, since passing them to LaserScan manually is usually a paintful

Implementation considerations

I have tried trying to convert the message manually and I had no successful results, I have also tried this package https://github.com/ros-perception/pointcloud_to_laserscan and I did not have satisfactory results either
