Make URDF compatible with Gazebo Simulation and accessing robot description from a remote robot (machine). #41

This addition enables to set simulation flag to have correct paths when using Gazebo which needs absolute system paths. And also relative package:// paths when using sensor on the hardware and accessing it from remote computer. Use-case here is that we usually execute robot description on the hardware, but want to visualize meshes on the local machine in rviz.

Unfortunatelly, I don't see other option than adding another flag to the macro. If somebody has better idea, let me know!
