Summary

This PR introduces a new Gazebo GUI plugin, designed to monitor network performance by measuring bandwidth and latency between two containers using iperf and ping. Additionally, it includes two new GUI plugins to easily toggle the OpenAirInterface (OAI) UE and gNB processes on and off directly from the interface. Finally, the PR includes necessary code rewiring to support these additions and provides updated documentation for the new features.

Changelog KeepA

[Added]:

  • a Gazebo GUI plugin to measure bandwidth (via iperf) and latency (via ping) between two containers.
  • Two Gazebo GUI plugins to switch the OAI UE and gNB processes on and off.
  • Documentation for the newly added plugins.

* fix/remove_sleeps (#6)

[Added]:
- **`wait_for_core_network.sh`**: Polling script that monitors MySQL health and critical OAI services (`nrf`, `amf`, `smf`, `upf`).
- **`wait_for_nav_stack.sh`**: Comprehensive ROS 2 readiness check (Lifecycle Manager, Costmaps, TF Map->Base Link, and Action Servers).
- **`create_physical_bridge.sh`**: Dedicated script for standardizing the `ros_gz_net` Docker bridge creation.
- **`dds.xml`**: FastDDS profile configuration for `SUPER_CLIENT` discovery protocols.

[Changed]:
- **`launch_robot_5G.sh` & `launch_robot_5G_docker.sh`**: Refactored the boot sequence to utilize validation scripts, reducing "race condition" failures.
- **README.md**: Added documentation sections explaining the purpose and usage of the new utility scripts.

[Fixed]:
- **Startup Race Conditions**: Eliminated issues where RViz or Navigation would launch before the 5G network or localization were settled.

* add free5gc cn setup (#7)

[Added]:
- free5gc core network setup

* Feat/free5gc open5gs extension (#9)

### Added

* Support for **free5GC** and **Open5GS** core networks.
* `cn_type` parameter to both `gNB_plugin` and `UE_plugin` configurations to explicitly define the target core network.
* Dedicated launch and kill scripts for free5GC (`launch_robot_5G_free5gc.sh`, `kill_all_free5gc.sh`) and Open5GS (`launch_robot_5G_open5gs.sh`, `kill_all_open5gs.sh`).
* `doc/5G_CORE_NETWORKS.md` documentation for comparing and selecting the right core network.
* `.gitignore` rule for containerized Open5GS database data.

### Changed

* Refactored main `README.md` and `demo/README.md` to reflect the multi-CN architecture and provide network-specific instructions.
* Separated Gazebo world files for different CNs (`world_only.sdf`, `world_only_free5gc.sdf`, `world_only_open5gs.sdf`).

### Fixed

* Corrected directory references from `open5gs` to `open5gs_setup`.
* Fixed IP range configurations for the free5GC host communication demo.
