wamv pinger (sensor) is listed as a component but no longer has visual or collision #641

Describe the bug
Our example_component_config.yaml lists a pinger as a component of the WAMV, and our wamv_gazebo.urdf.xacro file suggests it is a component of the WAM-V (though it's default location is strange), but specifying its inclusion now has no effect because the collision and visual were removed in #566. Since the component is not actually required to receive messages from the broadcasting pinger, I'm not sure whether it should be mentioned or not.

Expected behavior
Ideally, the pinger range_bearing topic would only be active if the WAM-V had an acoustic sensor enabled, an enabling it would cause it to show up as part of the WAMV's entity tree.

To Reproduce
List the steps to reproduce the problem:

  1. Run 'ros2 launch vrx_gz competition.launch.py world:=sydney_regatta'
  2. Look at the WAMV in the entity tree and notice there is no "pinger" listed.
