velocity_control: allow non-persistent initial velocity commands #2265

🎉 New feature

Specify non-persistent initial velocity

Summary

Currently the velocity_control system allows specifying initial velocities, but it treats them as persistent velocity commands. This adds a @persistent attribute to the //initial_angular and //initial_linear plugin elements, which can be set to false in order to specify an initial velocity rather than a persistently updated velocity.

This pull request builds upon #2228 and targets that branch. This is in draft mode until the example is well-documented and a test is added.

Test it

Run with the examples/worlds/initial_velocity.sdf example world and observe different behaviors with different values of the @persistent attribute.

Refactor to set model linear and angular velocity
commands directly in the OnCmdVel callback. Remove
the targetVel member variable and UpdateVelocity
method.

Currently the velocity_control system commands
velocities in a persistent manner. This change adds a
@Persistent attribute (default true) to the //initial_linear
and //initial_angular XML tags of the velocity_control
system. By setting @Persistent=false, the initial_*
values will correspond to initial velocities that may
change over time. Any twist values published to the
cmd_vel topic will still be interpreted as persistent
velocity commands.

I will use a different approach to set initial velocity for a model
