Option to dynamically change what image topic the mesh is subscribed to #11

We have implemented a change that allows for users to select an 'Image Topic Selector' Topic that publishes std_msgs::Strings which are the new Image Topic to subscribe to, allowing us to assign a hotkey with which to switch between multiple camera views for a single mesh. When the string "transparent" is passed, it will make the whole mesh transparent.

This feature does not affect any previous functionality, as the default is empty. However, we believe that this is a simple feature a significant number of users could benefit from.
