957f789faa Adds heartbeat functionality using GPIO
Introduces a heartbeat mechanism to the robot node using GPIO.
This allows for external monitoring of the node's active state.

The heartbeat is implemented using a GPIO pin that toggles
at a regular interval, indicating that the system is running.

Updates CMakeLists to link the project with gpiod libraries
staged locally.
Adds .gitignore entries for local dependencies and PC build directories.

5fcedb0fca Initializes project structure for Dixon Robot, config build & link
Sets up the initial project structure for the Dixon robot,
including core components and build configurations.

This commit lays the foundation for future development by:
- Adding necessary `.idea` files for IDE configuration,
  including `.gitignore`, `aws.xml`, `modules.xml`, `vcs.xml`,
  `editor.xml`, and `encodings.xml`
- Creating `Heart` component for managing heart beat with GPIO.
- Setting up CMakeLists.txt to define project dependencies and configurations,
  including specifying C++20 standard and linking necessary libraries.
