Resolve #991 by updating overview.rst doc.

TODO:

  1. Go through https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rosdep/blob/master/doc/overview.rst, test the steps

  2. Can remove python2 stuff. Easy_install is not used by python anymore – only pip.

  3. Ros_comm is only ROS1 thing
    Use rclcpp (ros client library cpp)
    -->
    Getting

rosdep check rclcpp --from-paths src --rosdistro iron
given path 'rclcpp' does not exist

I also tried a bunch of other stuff...
How do I know that a package exists? "install" also not working.

  1. rosdep install geometry → probably geometry2.

  2. When it says “ERROR: Rosdep cannot find all required resources to answer your query” use “--from_path” , install package by rosdep key name fails #991 (comment)
