slam karto (ROS 2.0)

This is ROS 2.0 version pkg for slam_karto.
The original repo (ROS 1.0) was developed by OSRF team.

The original version needs dependency: open_karto
However, in order to decrease the complicility of compilation in ament env,
we mergered open_karto into slam_karto for ROS 2.0 version.
