/**
* \brief Plugin for reading the angle of a joint.
*
* This plugin publishes the angle of a joint to the topic every
* physics update. Supports reading in either radians or degrees.
*
* To add a potentiometer to your robot, add the following XML to your
* robot model:
*
* <plugin name="my_pot" filename="libpotentiometer.so">
* <joint>Joint Name</joint>
* <topic>~/my/topic</topic>
* <units>{degrees, radians}</units>
* </plugin>
*
* - `joint`: Name of the joint this potentiometer is attached to.
* - `topic`: Optional. Message will be published as a gazebo.msgs.Float64.
* The default topic name will be the plugin name.
* Recommended topic names are of the form:
* /gazebo/frc/simulator/analog/n
* where n is the analog channel for the pot.
* - `multiplier`: Optional. Amount to multiply output with.
* Useful when a rotary pot returns something other than an angle
* - `units`: Optional. Defaults to radians.
