sl-perception 131d85a0d3 feat: RPLIDAR safety zone detector (Issue #575)
Add saltybot_safety_zone — ROS2 Python node that processes the RPLIDAR
A1M8 /scan into three concentric 360° safety zones, latches an e-stop
when DANGER is detected in the forward arc, and overrides /cmd_vel to
zero while the latch is active.

Zone thresholds (default):
  DANGER  < 0.30 m — latching e-stop in forward arc
  WARN    < 1.00 m — advisory (published in sector data)
  CLEAR   otherwise

Sector grid:
  36 sectors of 10° each (sector 0 = robot forward, CCW positive).
  Per-sector: angle_deg, zone, min_range_m, in_forward_arc flag.

E-stop behaviour:
  - Latches after estop_debounce_frames (2) consecutive DANGER scans
    in the forward arc (configurable ±30°, or all-arcs mode).
  - While latched: zero Twist published to /cmd_vel every scan + every
    incoming /cmd_vel_input message is blocked.
  - Clear only via service (obstacle must be gone):
    /saltybot/safety_zone/clear_estop  (std_srvs/Trigger)

Published topics:
  /saltybot/safety_zone          String/JSON  every scan
    — per-sector {sector, angle_deg, zone, min_range_m, forward}
    — estop_active, estop_reason, danger_sectors[], warn_sectors[]
  /saltybot/safety_zone/status   String/JSON  10 Hz
    — forward_zone, closest_obstacle_m, danger/warn counts
  /cmd_vel                       Twist        zero when e-stopped

Subscribed topics:
  /scan           LaserScan  — RPLIDAR A1M8
  /cmd_vel_input  Twist      — upstream velocity (pass-through / block)

<description>
RPLIDAR 360° safety zone detector (Issue #575).
Divides the full 360° scan into 10° sectors, classifies each as
DANGER/WARN/CLEAR, latches an e-stop on DANGER in the forward arc,
overrides /cmd_vel to zero while latched, and exposes a service to clear
the latch once obstacles are gone.
