Read the joint names in the robot model to fill the joint_states message.
Previous version of abstract-robot-dynamics did not contain the joint name. Therefore, we had no way to forward the joint names to ROS. This patch changes the ros_joint_state entity to add a retrieveJointNames command. This command uses the pool to retrieve an instance of the Dynamic entity (i.e. robot.dynamic) by using the entity name. It then iterates on the robot structure to fill the joint names in the message. This command is automatically called in the Ros class so this change is transparent for the end-user. However, no more assumptions are made on the robot structure so the sent message is exactly matching the robot structure loaded in the dynamic entity. In particular, the free floating DOFs are sent and the hard coded hand values have been removed. ROS, in fact, requires DOF names and not joint names. Therefore, the names are computed as follow: - 0 dof: ignored, - 1 dof: dof name is the joint name, - >1 dof: <joint name>_<dof id>
