26.04 Resolute Racoon support

[claraberendsen]

Now that all the infrastructure steps have been completed it's possible to run CI for Resolute.
This is the tracker issue for the necessary changes / dependencies updates needed for ROS 2 to build on the new Ubuntu version.

PR with the dependency changes: #849

[claraberendsen]

First run attempt: ci.ros2.org/job/ci_linux/27069

sip4 source package that provided python3-sip-dev is no longer present in Resolute.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sip4/+bug/2134379
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1059648

After moving the pyqt bindings over to shiboken2 that is still available on Resolute, this seems to be addressed: 1d2303b

[claraberendsen]

Attempting another run with the last fix: https://ci.ros2.org/job/test_ci_linux/205.
It fails with a number of compiler errors in mcap_vendor package.

This is likely due to the bump from gcc-13 to gcc-15 in Resolute.
https://packages.ubuntu.com/resolute/gcc

[claraberendsen]

More testing with mcap latest.
On Ubuntu Noble it builds with a regression on get_metadata_include_topics_with_zero_messages: https://ci.ros2.org/job/ci_linux/27529/#showFailuresLink
On Ubuntu Resolute it fails with compiler errors on mcap
Upon review, it seems it builds on Resolute as well on latest with the regressions reported on the rosbag2 PR https://ci.ros2.org/job/ci_linux/27548/#showFailuresLink

[jtbandes]

tying the threads together -- the mcap_vendor fix is being tracked at ros2/rosbag2#2317.

[claraberendsen]

@jtbandes it appears that latest of mcap builds on Resolute https://ci.ros2.org/job/ci_linux/27548/#showFailuresLink with the same error reported by Michael Orlov in the linked PR.

Running a fresher run now that the fix for mcap regression has been merged into master.

PR to address cmake warnings: ament/googletest#40

[claraberendsen]

Complete full run: , last one tested up to rosbag2.

Alright, last run show more things to fix 🛠️

[claraberendsen]

The build failure was due to an issue in launch_pytest

E AttributeError: 'FixtureFunctionDefinition' object has no attribute '_pytestfixturefunction'. Did you mean: '_fixture_function'? 

Seems like the culprit is a bump on pytest version on Resolute from 7.4.4 to 9.0.2. Reference

[claraberendsen]

Testing with the latest version of the repos files with the mcap fix to check if the issues with incompatibility happen again.
