Integration of backward_ros

Add backward_ros to your package.xml <depend>backward_ros</depend>

Add backward_ros to your CMakeLists.txt find_package(backward_ros REQUIRED)

To get line numbers and more details, you need to build with debug information enabled (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE = Debug or RelWithDebInfo)
