Description

This PR should only be merged after autowarefoundation/autoware#3699
This PR changes the LiDAR driver used from velodyne_vls to Nebula.
Nebula is actively maintained, supports more different LiDARs, and has been tested to have feature parity with velodyne_vls for Velodyne VLP16 and Velodyne VLS128.

Tests performed

This has been tested with the Autoware sample_sensor_kit_launch on branch feat/nebula and the sample Autoware map and rosbag data found here:
https://autowarefoundation.github.io/autoware-documentation/main/tutorials/ad-hoc-simulation/rosbag-replay-simulation/

Localization, pointcloud preprocessing, and perception were all found to work with the same performance as with the previous velodyne_vls driver.

Effects on system behavior

System behavior should be the same as when using the previous velodyne_vls LiDAR driver, with some performance benefits (and more to come as Nebula is developed and optimized).
