Add documentation on uniqueness of node, topic, and service names  #323

Description

@allsey87

Feature request

It seems that the current documentation lacks answers to a couple questions I have had while writing my own RMW implementation. For example: are node names within a namespace unique? How about the service and topic names within those nodes? Can I, for example, have two nodes (with different names) containing services with the same service_name?

So far I have looked at the following docs and I think these questions are unanswered. I think this is really important to preserve the ability to change the underlying RMW/DDS implementation in a system and to expect similar results.

Feature description

I would like the above questions to be answered in the official documentation.
