Adding cameras to stageros

[130s]

Willow Garage is migrating code repository & issue tracker to github and I haven't found any other location for Stage than here. If it's not a right space for ROS binding please say so. Thank you.

Description
There are a couple of things that I wish I had more time to address, these include using the image_transport, and addressing the matter of whether a camera can exist with out a host model, but here's a patch that provides the missing functionality.

After the camera_rev patch camera module is a required for each simulated robot.
But in the patched file stageros.cc Line217, has little bug .Make stageros fail to detect the when the stage robot has no camera with it. And the result is segment fault after running stageros.
Here is the fix
origional patch
217 else if (cameramodels.size() > 0 && cameramodels.size() != positionmodels.size())
change to
217 else if ( cameramodels.size() != positionmodels.size())

[rtv]

rtv/Stage is the canonical repo for Stage.

Thanks for the contributions! I plan to work on the ROS interface quite a
bit in the next few months.
