Hardware interface framework (#3)

* Updating ur_robot_driver include guards and namespaces

* Compile the ros_control plugin, inherit from components::SystemInterface

* Do away with intermediate SystemInterface class

* Implement configure()

* Add controller_manager launch file

* Cleanup and clang format
