This PR adds the
extra_gz_args
option tocompetition.launch.py

(There might be a cleaner way to do this; if so please advise.)The immediate reason for doing this is so we can use gz sim's recording functionality, which we need to get playback working.
To test
Try passing some arguments through to gz sim:
Check that logs are written to
$HOME/.gz_sim_arg_test
.Bonus: adding support for "paused" argument. To test:
The simulation should start in a paused state.
