If a task is created, then trigger the Executors guard condition. This will wake any blocking call to rcl_wait().
In this scenario, no work is yielded, so we also have to move the check for 'in-progress' tasks into the wait loop.

Added a unit test to reproduce the issue.

This resolves an issue in some cases where the result response from the action server is never processed, therefore never reaching the action client.

I think there might be a race where this test could have a false negative if spin_until_task_done has not reached the while loop in _wait_for_ready_callbacks prior to this task being created.

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm not sure how to avoid it, but it can be mitigated by sleeping for a short time before creating the task.

* Fix Node's reference to executor (#275)

Previously, if a `Node` was added to an `Executor` using the executors `add_node` method, then nodes `executor` property would return `None`.

* Abstract type conversions into functions (#269)

* Abstract type conversions into functions

This helps with readability and maintainability.
Also eliminated use of assertions during conversions, defering to exceptions.

* Move common C functions to a shared library 'rclpy_common'

* Add ActionServer (#270)

* Add Action server functions to extension module
    * Separated service related macros into separate request and response calls
* Add server goal handle functions to extension module
* Update Action extension module to use conversion functions
* Add implementation of Python ActionServer
    * Handles goal and cancel requests, responds, and calls user-defined functions for executing goals.
    * Handle result requests
    * Handle expired goals
    * Publish goal status array and feedback
* Add `handle_accepted_callback` to ActionServer

Upon accepting a goal, the provided `handle_accepted_callback` is called with a reference to the goal handle.
The user can then decide to execute the goal or defer.
If `handle_accepted_callback` is not provided, then the default behavior is to execute the goal handle immediately.

* Guard against failed take when taking action messages (#281)

Some middlewares (e.g. Connext and OpenSplice) send invalid messages to indicate an instance has been disposed which results in a 'failed take'.
