Strange location of recorder and player executables

[Timple]

Description

We can run the recorder as a node by:

ros2 run rosbag2_transport recorder

This cannot be guessed but has to be reverse engineered from code.

Expected Behavior

ros2 run rosbag2 recorder

or

ros2 run ros2bag recorder

Actual Behavior

Type ros2 run rosbag2 and try tab-complete, this fails

To Reproduce

These templates are getting rediculous.

System

Jazzy

Additional context

Yes, there the commanline cli of course. But in launchfiles this:

<node name="rosbag_operational" pkg="rosbag2" exec="recorder" />

Looks much better than

<executable cmd="ros2 bag record --node-name rosbag_operational"/>

As it's consistent with other stuff, better passes ros arguments etc. Also node renaming and remapping is much better.

Hi @Timple, see #1510 (comment) for previous discussions on this matter.

And here is the draft PR #1603

Great!

Do you want me to keep it open as placeholder? Or feel free to close it

[roncapat]

I linked resolution of my PR to this issue, I would leave this open.
Could you check the PR and provide feedback, if any?
So I may try to find some time to complete it :)
