Title: Consider installing pillow instead of PIL on OS X

Compare:

https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/blob/master/rosdep/python.yaml#L406
https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/blob/master/rosdep/osx-homebrew.yaml#L438

Most of the distros are using pillow instead of PIL. PIL has to be installed outside of rosdep due to extra pip flags required, cf:

@wjwwood, @NikolausDemmel, any reason it has to stay as PIL?
