When I first used darknet_ros, I discovered a single image frame from a video camera was being used as the same input for inference redundantly up to 70 times on my NVidia Quadro RTX 3000!
So to use far less processing resources unnecessarily, this PR simply keeps track of the last consumed image frame ID to ensure it doesn't infer with it again.
