Closes #197.

Adds a short section to phidgets_spatial/README.md explaining what to do with the IMU output after this driver, as requested by @mintar in #197.

Covers both cases mintar noted:

  • use_orientation: true → filtered output, feed directly to a state estimator
  • use_orientation: false → pass through imu_filter_madgwick first

Mentions both robot_localization and FusionCore as state estimator options, keeping parity with what was merged in CCNYRoboticsLab/imu_tools#232.

I totally forgot about this PR. I thought I already merged it. Merging it now, thanks and sorry for the delay!
