Local workspace overlay

[Yadunund]

Build a package in a local workspace which depends on packages supplied for the platform.

Run the tests for the package - all of them should pass.

For source platforms, this means building the candidate package in a separate workspace from the one used in the installation instructions.

TODO: Create a "dummy" package that ensures that we can target other packages using CMake, link against them, and run executables (tests) that are linked against libraries in the main workspace.

Setup

• DDS vendor: Cyclone
• BuildType: Binary
• Chip: Amd64
• Os: Ubuntu Jammy

Checks

• Local workspace overlay works

I'll take this one. Now that I know what binaries are I'll test them too here.

Tested this and it works as expected. Did the same test as the other issue except this time depending on the binary tarbal.

Underlay:

$ vcs export
repositories:
  RSL:
    type: git
    url: git@github.com:PickNikRobotics/RSL.git
    version: main
  cpp_polyfills:
    type: git
    url: git@github.com:PickNikRobotics/cpp_polyfills.git
    version: main

Overlay (generate_parameter_library depends on RSL):

repositories:
  generate_parameter_library:
    type: git
    url: git@github.com:PickNikRobotics/generate_parameter_library.git
    version: main

Steps tested:

1. Build underlay based on iron (colcon build)
2. Run tests in underlay (colcon test)
3. Source underlay workspace (source install/setup.bash)
4. Build overlay workspace
5. Test overlay workspace

OS: Ubuntu Jammy 22.04
