PX4 v1.16 renames the `vehicle_status` uORB/ROS topic to `vehicle_status_v1`. The original version of this fork still subscribes to the old topic, which causes the Python offboard_control node to fail silently and prevents offboard mode from functioning correctly in SITL. This commit updates the Python node to use `vehicle_status_v1`, restoring correct offboard behavior. It also renames the installed Python executable to `offboard_control_py` to allow clean invocation via: ros2 run px4_ros_com offboard_control_py Signed-off-by: evannsm <evannsmcuadrado@gmail.com>
