encoding/decoding Centralizes the logic for converting between numpy arrays and Float32MultiArray messages with proper column-major (Fortran) order handling as required by the GridMap specification. - encode_layer_to_multiarray(): Converts (rows, cols) array to message - decode_multiarray_to_rows_cols(): Converts message back to array - Supports both gridmap_column and row_major layouts - Includes
