Fix macOS @rpath install-name id for ros_type_introspection - #564
Merged

The dylib was built with a bare install-name id
('libros_type_introspection.dylib') because the old
cmake_minimum_required leaves policy CMP0042 = OLD (MACOSX_RPATH off).
Consumers then record the bare dependency name and dyld cannot resolve
it from the environment lib dir, so all plotjuggler-ros plugins
(DataLoadROS / DataStreamROS / RosTopicPublisher) fail to dlopen on
osx-64 and osx-arm64 -- PlotJuggler ends up with no .bag loader.
Set CMAKE_MACOSX_RPATH ON so the library advertises an
@rpath/libros_type_introspection.dylib install name. This fixes all
consumers at the source. No-op on Linux/Windows.
Added ros_type_introspection with build number.

Thanks for this great project!
I tested loading a ros1 .bag into plotjuggler from a ros-noetic-plotjuggler-ros mamba install and got the following on macOS:
Plotjuggler application opened as normal, but it did not allowing us to open a .bag
