Fix iCubGui visualization during YOGA++ demo #29

The iCubGui visualization is shitty during the YOGA++ demo, for a number of reason:

A nice visualisation is fundamental for presenting our work to daily visitors. Do we have an estimate of how much effort is needed for this issue to be addressed?

The floating base estimator bit should be fixed by https://github.com/robotology/codyco-modules/pull/197 . For the DH frame stuff, it would take some more time, probably two/three days.

A possible long term solution is just have a tool similar to iCubGui in the sense that it reads robot configuration and robot external forces from existing YARP ports, but that is able to load directly URDF models, reusing the work that has been already done in the iDynTree Visualizer C++ library, see https://github.com/robotology/idyntree/issues/837 .
