Packages for common geometric calculations including the ROS transform library, "tf". Also includes ROS bindings for "bullet" physics engine and "kdl" kinematics/dynamics package.
I tested these packages using a system install of liborocos-kdl-dev and python3-pykdl on Debian Buster and Ubuntu Focal and the tests seem to pass. This PR replaces the orocos KDL ROS packages with to-be-added rosdep keys.
This PR would make the melodic-devel branch work for ROS Noetic only, it should probably be retargeted at a new branch noetic-devel. If multiple ROS distros on the same branch is desired, then I think the package.xml would need to be upgraded to format 3 and conditional dependencies on ROS_DISTRO would need to be used.
