move user-defined literals in their own namespace (#284)

* isolate chrono literals in literals.hpp

* rclcpp.hpp: remove 'using namespace rclcpp::literals'

The examples have been migrated to the new namespace.

* literals: constexpr, make return types consistent with function body

_ms returned nanoseconds instead of milliseconds.

A few return types where using integral return type
for floating point literals.

* remove literals in favor of std::chrono_literals
