plot plugin only lets you plot 1 topic

It would be nice if you could get multiple topics in the same plugin graph for correlation.

The best way to do this would be through the same context menu that allows plotting: instead of just offering to plot a topic, the menu should also allow the user to add the selected topic to an existing plot.

I like that. All we would have to do is give each of the plot windows a unique title and display that as an option in the drop down. This actually doesn't sound super hard at all. If I get some time next week I will see if I can implement this before I release rqt.

Coming up on the self assign anniversary... It is pretty clear other priorities won out. If that looks like it will change I will reassign myself.

@dirk-thomas have you worked on this, do you have a prototype code? I'm a python beginner but I need this functionality so I'll try to fix this issue and hopefully make a PR.

I haven't. I would have updated the issue if that would be the case.
