v2.4.0

📞 Better ROS Service call integration​

We’ve improved the Foxglove client integration with ROS Services to allow Foxglove to be aware if a service is unavailable and the service has failed. The Foxglove websocket protocol now has a serviceCallFailure operation that can communicate to custom panels or the Foxglove Service Call panel when a call fails.
