Setup & installation for Moonlight Remote Desktop server #57

As a mobile manipulator, the robot can only travel so far when tethered by the cables of a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. There are several ways to set up a wireless connection to Stretch, e.g. SSH, VNC, TeamViewer, AnyDesk, but I've found Moonlight to be the best performing and lowest computational overhead for local network streaming.

Moonlight is software for streaming video games, but its ability to stream high-resolution, low-latency video makes it ideal for robotic applications as well. Instructions for using Moonlight with Stretch are available in the v0.3 docs.
