ROS-196: laser scan from ros driver is not properly aligned with poin…

…t cloud [foxy] (#204) * Apply destagger to laser scan + Add laser to rviz * Align LaserScan with the PointCloud * Apply proper pixel shift * Resolve the issue of zeroed laserscan on dual mode * Address an issue where LaserScan appeared different on FW prior to 2.4 * Fix the issue for odd numbers * List selected sensors on the main page + Update RVIZ config to highlight the 2D LaserScan.

+## Supported Devices
+The driver supports the following list of Ouster sensors:
+- [OS0](https://ouster.com/products/hardware/os0-lidar-sensor)
+- [OS1](https://ouster.com/products/hardware/os1-lidar-sensor)
+- [OS2](https://ouster.com/products/hardware/os2-lidar-sensor)
+- [OSDome](https://ouster.com/products/hardware/osdome-lidar-sensor)
+
+You can obtain detailed specs sheet about the sensors and obtain updated FW through the website
+[downloads](https://ouster.com/downloads) section.
+
 ## Requirements
 This branch is only intended for use with the **Foxy** ROS 2 distro. Please refer to ROS 2 online documentation on how to
 setup ROS on your machine before proceeding with the remainder of this guide.
