fix typo for parameter beam_skip_error_threshold but bandaged for other users in AMCL (#790) * fix typo but bandage for other users

Merge pull request #731 from maracuya-robotics/kinetic/amcl-dynamic-reconfigure AMCL dynamic reconfigure: Extend parameter range
In Addition to #696, which checks the input arguments, this extends the allowed parameter range in dynamic reconfigure. The description for "save_pose_rate" says "-1.0 to disable" but allowed only positive values previously. Also increase maximum value for laser_max_beams for high performance systems.
Merge pull request #668 from B0gdar/kinetic-devel Update laser_model_type enum on AMCL.cfg Adding likelihood_field_prob laser model option on AMCL.cfg to be able to control dynamic parameters with this laser sensor model.

Allow AMCL to run from bag file to allow very fast testing.
Fixes interpretation of a delayed initialpose message (see #424). The tf lookup as it was before this change was very likely to fail as ros::Time::now() was used to look up a tf without waiting on the tf's availability. Additionally, the computation of the "new pose" by multiplying the delta that the robot moved from the initialpose's timestamp to ros::Time::now() was wrong. That delta has to by multiplied from the right to the "old pose". This commit also changes the reference frame to look up this delta to be the odom frame as this one is supposed to be smooth and therefore the best reference to get relative robot motion in the robot (base link) frame.
New unit test for proper interpretation of a delayed initialpose message. Modifies the set_pose.py script to be able to send an initial pose with a user defined time stamp at a user defined time. Adds a rostest to exercise this new option. This reveals the issues mentioned in #424 (the new test fails).

Bug fix to remove particle weights being reset when motion model is updated
Integrated new sensor model which calculates the observation likelihood in a probabilistic manner Also includes the option to do beam-skipping (to better handle observations from dynamic obstacles)
Pose pulled from parameter server when new map received
