Issue background:
Unable to distinguish or remap left and right camera_info when using image_transport with identical topic names

Description:
When using DisparityNode from the stereo_image_proc package and running with ROS 2 bag or other scenarios involving image_transport, there is an issue if the camera_info topics for the left and right cameras are automatically derived and end up having the same name.

This happens because image_transport::getCameraInfoTopic derives camera_info topic names from the image topics (left/image_rect and right/image_rect).
This makes it impossible to use the node properly in these scenarios, especially when working with recorded data or custom remapping.

Proposed Solution

I propose adding a parameter, use_image_transport_camera_info (default: true), to control whether DisparityNode uses image_transport::getCameraInfoTopic for deriving camera_info topics.

Default Behavior (backward compatible):
    When use_image_transport_camera_info is true, the node continues using image_transport::getCameraInfoTopic for camera_info resolution, maintaining existing functionality.

Custom Behavior:
    When use_image_transport_camera_info is false, the node directly uses the camera_info topics specified via remapping (e.g., left/camera_info and right/camera_info), bypassing image_transport's derivation logic.

This solution allows users to explicitly remap the camera_info topics for both cameras, providing flexibility for scenarios where topic names are not unique or need customization.

…fo topic resolution

Added `use_image_transport_camera_info` parameter to toggle between deriving camera_info topics using `image_transport::getCameraInfoTopic` or using default topic names.

- Default behavior (`true`) maintains current logic for backward compatibility.
- New option (`false`) supports direct usage of custom camera_info topics.

Improves flexibility for custom remapping setups.
