ComponentLoader: Adding better RTT Logger descriptions to import functions to help when debugging import errors.

service: fix adding a service to the global service

The global service has no owner, so the parent was not set either.
We now try to set the parent and fail if that is impossible. The
owner is only set if one is present.

UseOROCOS: Switching xpath detection warning to error if building with rosbuild or catkin
remove unused typedef
cmake: do not complain about catkin not being found
make some hidden scheduler/policy choices explicit

Here and there in RTT there is a thread spawned to do some work.

of the thread is well hidden.

This commit makes two of these threads apparent, and allows for
explicit parametrization.

It keeps ABI compatibility.
Moving empty install directory generation up so that it always runs if catkin is being used
