My use case: I have a shared source space in which both ROS1 and ROS2 packages reside (the migration to ROS2 is ongoing). Now I want to build the ROS1 packages using catkin_tools, same as before, and the ROS2 packages using colcon. To do this, I place CATKIN_IGNORE files in the ROS2 packages, and COLCON_IGNORE files in the ROS1 packages.
Problem: colcon-ros ignores the ROS2 packages due to an existing CATKIN_IGNORE.
I think colcon should ignore ROS2 packages only when there is a COLCON_IGNORE file present (or AMENT_IGNORE), and respect CATKIN_IGNORE only when the build_type is catkin, as indicated by the package.xml. This PR implements this behavior.
