Add Ray Message #125

Open Jmeyer1292 opened 6 years ago

My use case is publishing user mouse clicks in Rviz to external ROS nodes. Didn't find a standard message for a ray, so I here I am.

This looks like a reasonable message definition. Can you point to places using this or a similar message for example use cases to show that in it's current form it will be useful. Are there equivalent datatypes in use in other geometry libraries? And do you have converter and transform operations that could be added to tf2_geometry_msgs to support it?
