Subject: [PATCH] Remove ament_cmake_ros dependency

The dependent ament_cmake_ros package transitively pulls in RMW-layer packages which is unnecessarily heavy to class_loader that is supposed to be an independent plugin loading library. This commit removes the ament_cmake_ros dependency and replaces with a plain ament_cmake with an explicit SHARED library type to keep the dependency minimal.
