Inheritance in cyclonedds-python not working properly after last commits in the master

Hello,

After downloading the master of cyclonedss and cyclonedds-python, and test structs' inheritance, subscriber is not receiving any message.

If you test with the next IDL:

module module_test {
    struct parent {
        char var;
    };
    struct child : parent {
        char var2;
    };
};

And subscriber tries to receive messages from parent, it works properly, but it is not able to receive messages from child.

It seems that the changes done by @thijsmie on issue #162 solved the problem, but commits from the last days have caused the problem.

Best regards.

Sorry, I had a configuration error in some tests from my battery. Issue closed.

Well actually there is an issue which I discovered due to looking into this! So I've added a test and fixed the fact that the structs base type was not included in the XTypes type information. The work in progress is here: https://github.com/thijsmie/cyclonedds-python/tree/172-struct-inheritance

We will merge once we've resolved some CI trouble and I've also fixed the fact that cyclonedds typeof doesn't properly support inheritance either.

If it helps, we downloaded the master branch from cyclonedss and cyclonedss-python on November 28th and 29th and structs inheritance was working correctly on our tests https://github.com/javiersorianoruiz/cyclonedds-python-checkReservedKeyword/tree/master/tests/ (007_test_X).
