depend on python-transforms3d-pip

[Timple]

Thank you for this convenience package!

Instead of install instructions in the readme, why doesn't this package simply list python-transforms3d-pip in the package.xml?

This means tooling like rosdep install can pick it up from there.

So I originally took it out in 84167ff because it would not be automatically installed as part of the binary, but you are correct in pointing out that it would help rosdep.

So, now I remember, that the buildfarm doesn't really play nicely with pip dependencies: See this buildfarm job

14:35:22 Identified the following build dependencies (ignoring packages available from source):
14:35:22   - python-numpy
14:35:22   - python-transforms3d-pip

14:35:22 During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

14:35:22 KeyError: "The cache has no package named 'transforms3d'"

Really what we need is an apt version of transforms3d but I haven't had the energy to try to figure out how to do that.

I believe a dependency on python3-transforms3d is possible now on Jammy after ros/rosdistro#33091 was merged?

@DLu this is resolved now by #11 , can we get a bloom release for iron and jazzy? Thanks :)
