Add default CycloneDDS setup

Add this to into the install script:

sudo apt install ros-$ROS_DISTRO-rmw-cyclonedds-cpp

Add this to the .rtw_rc file:

export RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_cyclonedds_cpp
export CYCLONEDDS_URI=~/.ros/cyclonedds.xml

Add this cyclonedds.xml content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<CycloneDDS xmlns="https://cdds.io/config" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="https://cdds.io/config https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse-cyclonedds/cyclonedds/master/etc/cyclonedds.xsd">
