Michael Grupp 5d5ce68a11 Fix memory leak in simulations by removing wall timers. (#891)
Fixes the problem of ever-growing memory after `rosbag play --clock` finishes,
as discussed in https://github.com/googlecartographer/cartographer/issues/1182

The wall timers caused the timer callback that publishes TF data to be called
even if no simulated `/clock` was published anymore.
As the TF buffer cache time of the TF listener seems to be based on
the ROS time instead of wall clock, it could grow out of bounds.

Now, `ros::Timer` plays nicely with both normal (wall) and simulated time and
no callbacks are executed if `/clock` stops in simulation.

Purpose
=======

`Cartographer`_ is a system that provides real-time simultaneous localization
and mapping (`SLAM`_) in 2D and 3D across multiple platforms and sensor
configurations. This project provides Cartographer's ROS integration.

.. _Cartographer: https://github.com/googlecartographer/cartographer
.. _SLAM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_localization_and_mapping

Getting started
===============

* Learn to use Cartographer with ROS at `our Read the Docs site`_.
* You can ask a question by `creating an issue`_.

.. _our Read the Docs site: https://google-cartographer-ros.readthedocs.io
