Externally configure QoS at start-up
------------------------------------

It is now possible to externally configure the QoS settings for a node at start-up time.
QoS settings are **not** configurable during runtime; they are only configurable at start-up.
Node authors must opt-in to enable changing QoS settings at start-up.
If the feature is enabled on a node, then QoS settings can be set with ROS parameters when a node first starts.
