🚀 Add PID controller 🎉 (backport #434, #975, #899, #1084, #951)

[mergify[bot]]

Proposal for a new controller that provides PID functionality.

The controller can be used stand-alone, in a chain. Measured states can be provided through the topic or state interface, depening on the concrete control arch. For example, if you are having an external estimator, using topic might be eaiser at first then full integration into ros2_control.

The PR depends the following changes:

• ros-controls/control_msgs#69
• ros-controls/control_toolbox#129

Looking forward for your feedback!

Testing dependencies:

  control_msgs:
    type: git
    url: [email protected]:ros-controls/control_msgs.git
    version: add-generic-msgs-for-controller-references
  control_toolbox:
    type: git
    url: [email protected]:ros-controls/control_toolbox.git
    version: add-option-to-define-prefix-as-param-prefix
  ros2_controllers:
    type: git
    url: [email protected]:StoglRobotics-forks/ros2_controllers.git
    version: add-pid-controller

Needs ros-controls/control_msgs#133 to be released for the binary builds.

@christophfroehlich, That has been merged, right? Can the build check just be re-triggered?

The binary build check fails until control_msgs has been released (there is a release, waiting for the next sync). I think this PR can be merged now, too @bmagyar ?
