Set WEBOTS_EXTRA_PROJECT_PATH using rospack #110

BarceloChristian commented 2 years ago

Uses rospack to find ROS packages being exported for webots_ros, making them available as extra projects by setting the WEBOTS_EXTRA_PROJECT_PATH environment variable.

Exported packages should be set as following:

<export>
  <webots_ros webots_extra_project_path="${prefix}"/>
</export>

Documentation is added in a PR here

Thank you, a better place to document this possibility and how to use it would be here.

Also, please note that @omichel left an additional comment in the previous PR here. As both changes require modifying the docs in the develop branch, you can do them both at the same time.
