Description
Whether to use last command velocity or use wheel's odometry for MPPI initial state estimation. When enable, use last command velocity for MPPI initial state estimation.

In `PR #5617 <https://github.com/ros-navigation/navigation2/pull/5617>`_,add new option to have open loop for MPPI.
Now it have 1 more option to use last command velocity for initial state estimation instead of wheel's odometry.

Useful when using low accelerations or when wheel odometry's latency(motor response is poor) causes issues in MPPI initial state estimation.
