Directory for common files

[git-afsantos]

Explore the possibility of adding a directory with shared/common modules for various plugins.

Ex: haros directory with ros_model.py module, etc.

Benefits

• Modularity, plugins do not need to import files from other plugins, nor do they need to duplicate code.
• Looks good; import haros.ros_model.

Drawbacks

• Nothing distinguishes this approach from a regular plugin directory.
• Tool needs to take care not to try to import this directory dynamically.
• Might get complicated if the tool gets distributed as a package later (reusing the haros name).

[git-afsantos]

Current (temporary) solution: use a common haros_util directory that is ignored by the plugin loader.

[git-afsantos]

The tool is now being distributed as the haros package. Common code and shared utilities should be moved into this package.
