Add the SimLaserScanner class, which models a laser scanner and simulates realistic data for the laser, including a pointcloud of the scanner data and the distances to points in the pointcloud. This is useful when we want to simulate scan data for a laser sensor without using a physics simulator like Gazebo. Include example node and a unit test.

Issues: The angular resolution of a scan is not equal to its inputted value. It is roughly 66% larger. Need to update the code to output the desired angular resolution and update the unit test to verify this.
