Generate robot models using the information contained in the Robot Bazaar's Robot Manager

The Robot Bazaar website (https://robot-bazaar.iit.it) now contains a section that is "single source of truth" regarding the state of iCub robots across the world.
Ideally, the logic in this repo should generate the iCub robot models starting from the information provided in that database, to ensure that the iCub generated models are aligned, instead of manually maintaining the information of which robot has which version inside this repo, that is quickly outdated as soon as new robot are released (for example, we currently do not have models for recently release robots such as iCubWaterloo01, iCubGenova08 and iCubChemnitz01.
The Robot Bazaar website is not working anymore, and the only information actually maintained on iCub versions is an internal .xslx file maintained by iCub Tech. To be more pragmatic, we will just duplicate that information in this repo, and manually deal with consistency of the info contained there. This is tracked in robotology/icub-models#228 .
