Provide simulated iCub models that also spawn wholebodydynamics and cartesiancontrollerserver devices #84

The "real" iCub robot are typically launched with a yarprobotinterface that spawns, beside the YARP device that communicate with the internal robot fieldbus and the YARP network wrapper server device to expose their functionality over the network, also the device cartesiancontrollerserver and soon for supported robots also the wholebodydynamics device.

To reduce the simulation to reality gap, we could consider offering simulated models that do the same, or at least documentation on how to build such models. This was not easy in the past, but it has been enabled by the creation of the gazebo_yarp_robotinterface plugin in robotology/gazebo-yarp-plugins#532 .

Things to consider:

fyi @gabrielenava @Giulero @lrapetti @HosameldinMohamed @S-Dafarra @GiulioRomualdi @prashanthr05 this would remove the need to launch an additional yarprobotinterface just for wholebodydynamics whenever we spawn a Gazebo simulation
