Create QT-based driver station #13

📚 Meta Issue

We require a driver station for 2 purposes; First, it will be required for running the robot in simulation, since the official NI driver station is only for real robots. Additionally, since code will be developed in Ubuntu, it would be nice to have the ability to drive real robots from Ubuntu as well. Since the NI driver station is Windows only, we need our own.

Note here that QDriverStation is no longer supported, which is a shame since it would have been trivial to add a ROS wrapper around. We may pick up support of this one day, but for the time being it's not required.

This driver station should be build using rqt, and will just publish joystick and game data for the rest of the system, mimicking the behaviour of the real robot.
