Migrate sensor_msgs utilities to ROS 2 about common_interfaces HOT 6 CLOSED

It appears all of the utilities have been migrated. I've opened a PR updating the references mentioned in the description (#72). Regarding the reference to CameraInfo details (http://www.ros.org/wiki/image_pipeline/CameraInfo), it's currently referencing the original documentation under image_pipeline. Perhaps we should consider moving that documentation to this repository to live closer to the message definition. In any case, I think it is out of scope for this issue.

Just FYI, I have done parts of this as needed for the cartographer integration effort. I think we ended up deciding to just keep these utilities as part of the same sensor_msgs package for ease of use/porting from ROS1. That being said, I haven't done all of the utilities, just the ones I've needed (point cloud iterators and distortion models), so we should leave this open until we decide what to do about the rest.

related PRs: pointcloud2 iterators: #34 and distortion models #31.

Also if we decide to lint these migrated files we should also make sure they comply with our developer guide (doesn't seem to be the case AFAICT)

Any updates on regarding migrating these utilities ? We need fill_image.h for our software stack for ROS 2.0.

Thanks @sagniknitr for your interest in this.

We didn't have the need for the rest of the utilities so far.
We will happily review any PR that port additional utilities.
