Suggestion: rewrite loader to Python #246

Hi,

At the moment you ship a bunch of binaries for the loader tool, which at the moment doesn't work great on Ubuntu 20.04. I believe this could be rewritten to a OS independent python script which would make flashing of the OpenCR easier.

Alternatively you could use GitHub actions/travisCI to compile binaries and upload to GitHub releases, rather than committing build artifacts to a repository (making this repository 200MB!!). The binaries repository seems to be a year out of date as well: https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/OpenCR-Binaries/tree/master/turtlebot3/ROS2/latest

@russkel, Thank you for the suggestion and great idea. I'll review this with our developers.

@ROBOTIS-Will my pleasure. Just trying to help simplify the steps involved in getting the robot up and running.
