Figure out a better way to integrate robot descriptions #7

Description

@GianniLunardi

At the moment the robot description is compiled on the fly using a generic xacro with other xacros with properties for each robot.

This doesn't work when we load the RVIZ model meshes bc it doesn't work by pointing to the mesh file directly, it wants the package the meshes belong to.

To fix that, in #4 we now expect a ${ROBOT_TYPE}_description package to be present, just for the meshes. We should make the system to either use the official robot description or internally create fake packages, to avoid external dependencies.
