Description

Added the support for bumper sensor for each of the iRobot Create versions. The contact with the bumpers is checked according to the mesh of the corresponding bumper shape for each robot. For that I added a new arg version in create_description/urdf/create_base.urdf.xacro.
Unfortunately, since there is no plugin for Omni IR, could only add a the common IR from Gazebo which I hope is still of use.
Generated a package with a minimal example to simulate the different Create robot version. Also updated the Readme to specify how to run the simulation. Uses a world file from turtlebot3_gazebo.
Added the publish of transforms for the wheels.

This PR is connected to #76.

Test configuration ROS version: Noetic
