Added rviz plugins

[NovoG93]

To keep the vision_msgs package agnostic I added a meta package and moved initial vision_msgs package

[SteveMacenski]

Thanks @NovoG93 for the work and great gifs / demos! This will be very nice to have out of the box. I'll plan on releasing this at the end of next week in my previously scheduled release cycle!

[SteveMacenski]

You may want to post on ROS Discourse about this (with your gif!) for visibility

[NovoG93]

Glad it finally worked out! Will post on ROS Discourse once it is released.

@NovoG93 We have some build failures that will stop me from running binaries until we have them resolved. I was planning on syncing this on Friday so if you could patch up things today, tomorrow or Thursday we can keep on track

At the very least, that package isn't linked against or included in the package.xml

@SteveMacenski will look into that now

@SteveMacenski I just noticed that the jenkins build job is running on Ubuntu20.04 with Foxy. Will the vision_msgs be migrated from humble to foxy as they are different (e.g. Detection3D). The rviz plugin in the PR is only compatible with the vision_msgs definition of Humble, for Foxy I only implemented a small part of the Humble capabilities (https://github.com/NovoG93/vision_msgs_rviz_plugins/tree/foxy) however this code was not included in the PR.

Besides the rcpputils::fs problem there was a problem with the QT Meta-Object Compiler on the common headers that is also fixed with the latest commit.
For testing I used the docker images ros:rolling-ros-core-jammy, ros:humble-ros-core-jammy, and ros:foxy-ros-core-focal and built the package using: . /opt/ros/$ROS_DISTRO/setup.sh && PYTHONIOENCODING=utf_8 PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 colcon build --build-base build_isolated --install-base install_isolated --test-result-base test_results --event-handlers console_cohesion+ --cmake-args -DBUILD_TESTING=0 as it is apparently executed in the jenkins build job

I created a new PR for that here: https://github.com/ros-perception/vision_msgs/pull/84

[SteveMacenski]

It is actually released to Humble, Rolling, etc. The foxy job is just the one that's failing currently.
