Title: Diff drive open loop odom

This PR is an update from the hydro-devel branch of ros_controllers from PAL Robotics.

> The purpose of this PR is to support open loop odometry when there are no encoders.
> It basically adds:

> * open_loop param
> * extends Odometry class to update using the last linear and angular velocities received by the controller, i.e. set the odometry twist directly with then and integrate the position (x, y)
