// @brief Validation Check
//  Check recieved message is safe or not for the nav2-system
//  For each msg-type known in nav2, we could check it as following:
//  if(!validateMsg()) RCLCPP_ERROR(,"malformed msg. Rejecting.")
//
//  Workflow of validateMsg():
//     if here's a sub-msg-type in the recieved msg,
//        the content of sub-msg would be checked as sub-msg-type
//     then, check the whole recieved msg.
//
//  Following conditions are involved in check:
//     1> Value Check: to avoid damaged value like like `nan`, `INF`, empty string and so on
//     2> Logic Check: to avoid value with bad logic,
//             like the size of `map` should be equal to `height*width`
//     3> Any other needed condition could be joint here in future
