Localization should be persistent

Right now each time anyone restarts the ROS stack on the robot, the robot needs to be re-localized.

Now that we have claimed a robot 24x7 for continuous ops (PRN), we should be able to assume the robot does not move unless we have told it to. So we should be able to save/restore localiizations.

I wrote a python scripts in sandbox/bin/ that save and restore the localization from a file in the robot's homedir. We just need to be sure these scripts get called before and after the stack gets restarted.
