Description

`embeddedRTPS` failed to build in CI. This is because [`ament_cmake` recently removed `ament_cmake_target_dependencies`](https://github.com/ament/ament_cmake/pull/614). However, `micro-ROS/embeddedRTPS`, `micro-ROS/rmw_embeddedrtps`, and `micro-ROS/rcl` are still using it. The call in `micro-ROS/rcl` is wrapped with `if(NOT RCL_MICROROS)`, so it doesn't trigger during the build.

An AI provided me with a very hacky (but working) workaround — adding `ament_target_dependencies.cmake` back into `ament_cmake` during the build... But I think it's better to update the three libraries mentioned above.

Research direction

Start by locating the ament_cmake_target_dependencies calls in micro-ROS/embeddedRTPS, micro-ROS/rmw_embeddedrtps, and micro-ROS/rcl, noting the conditional use in rcl. Check the embeddedRTPS CI build and verify that all three libraries build without restoring the removed ament_cmake file.
