Title: Adding STALE value to enum

It appears it's become common to set diagnostic_msgs/DiagnosticStatus/level=3 to represent a "STALE" status. Since this has become a convention, it makes sense to add this definition to the enum.

See use of STALE status here: http://www.ros.org/doc/api/diagnostic_msgs/html/msg/DiagnosticStatus.html
