Title:
  Update urdfdom, dart and ignition-physics for Noble (Open Robotics
  packages)

Status in dart package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Versions bump for the Open Robotics Community packages:
   - urdfdom to 4.0.0-0ubuntu1
   - dart to 6.13.1+ds-0ubuntu2

  As a side effect ignition-physics package needs also to be patch updated:
   - ignition-physics to 5.1.0+ds1-4.1ubuntu2

  Package PPA:
   https://launchpad.net/~j-rivero/+archive/ubuntu/urdfdom4-noble/+packages
   (let me know if you prefer the code in bzr)

  [Other info]

  I have both version bumps ready on Debian but the 64bit_time transition[1] is preventing the
  packages to go through the lib transition since two weeks ago and counting. As we want to
  have these new versions in 24.04 (feature freeze is coming soon), we do the version bump
  directly on Ubuntu.

  [Justification]

  Important updates in a couple of packages used by the Open Robotics
  Community, particularly affecting ROS (Robot Operative System) and the
  ignition/Gazebo simulator.

   * urdfdom is changing the ABI/API completely by replacing tinyxml with tinyxml2
   * Dart current version 6.9.2 was released in .. 2019 :(

  Both packages should be lintian clean.

  [Transition details]

  The PPA includes all direct dependencies of urfdom and DART (ignition-
  physics and ros-urdf).

   * ignition-physics include a patch to work with new DART adding conditional code to deal with
     minor DART API renames.

  All the previous architectures where the software was building before
  are also supported in the update with an important exception: new DART
  upstream releases do not support 32 bits, so armhf is lost from the
  list.
