Standalone kdl_parser library (#13)

* remove boost dependency

* make catkin and rosconsole optional, replace urdf by urdfdom

* cmake modules for TinyXML and TinyXML2

source: https://github.com/ros/cmake_modules

* append to cmake module path

* replace urdf by urdfdom

* mention source of local cmake module files

* define ROS_WARN and ROS_ERROR as standard error

* remove define guards from header files

* always build shared library

* define ROS_DEBUG as standard output
