Monitor SLAM constraint topics

Inspect constraint list and trajectory topics to diagnose SLAM performance.

Cartographer publishes a list of loop closure constraints and a trajectory builder status. If SLAM quality degrades, inspect these topics to understand the number of constraints and their quality.

ros2 topic echo /${ROS_NAME}/constraint_list
