[Playerstage-developers] big code shuffle (Part 1 of 2)

[Toby C. <tco...@pl...>]

For a long time we have had a circular dependency between libplayercore and
libplayerxdr. This has been worked around by basically compiling the
interfaces twice. While this worked, it reflects a basic issue with the
existing split of the libraries.

I have just commited a big shuffle of the interface descriptions and so on.
This puts the interface definitions, and parers (including xdr) into a new
libplayerinterfaces library. This makes the split much cleaner, leaving code
only responsible for the server core, i.e. describing and managing drivers.

It also means that client libraries etc no longer have a dependency on core.
This should make things
easier if anyone wants to create a player compatible application/server
without using anything but the interfaces from player.

Currently utils are also in with libplayerinterface. Refactor part two will
split the utilties into their own library.

At the moment it is possible that stage and/or gazebo may not build against
trunk, I will fix this up once refactor part 2 is sorted.
