M2 - Final Integration / Polish

[stonier]

The must-haves for a nice demo:

• Backend: A pythonic demo_launcher.py (i.e. replace automotive_demo)
• UI: Root cause / fix strange artifacts on the dragway Strange artifacts on the dragway #150
• UI: Nice gradient backend like drake-visualizer had Gradient background #99
• UI: Qt styles on buttons, delphyne-gui#75
• UI: Quit always triggers saving dialog, delphyne-gui#97
• UI: Plotting plugin is crashing the visualiser, delphyne-gui#105 ⇨ delphyne-gui/pull/108
• Scene Tree: has empty fields, delphyne-gui#106 ⇨ delphyne-gui/pull/109
• Roads: Bugfix segfault of the python scripts when finishing, Loadable agents script is segfaulting (MOBIL) #376
• Agents: Fix memory management issues (i.e. don't transfer roads) ⇨ Review lifetime of loadable agent params #383
• Agents: New Trajectory Agent (doesn't have to be in the M2 demo) ⇨ Python bound trajectory agent #417
• Agents: Shift to python bound agents ⇨ Python bound trajectory agent #417, Python bound agents Part II #425
• Agents: Update the documentation
• Python: User and Developer notes in the Delphyne Guide. Document the caveats in the developer's section (i.e. new type, expose it in python_bindings.cc)
• Demo: A multilane world with lane changing cars and finite amount of time ⇨ Added railcar_and_mobilcar_in_multilane demo #418

Optional Housekeeping that can be done in parallel (priority order):

• Infra: Read non-ignition topics and services, TopicViewer doesn't introspect custom protobuf messages #359 (almost non-optional!?)
• Infra: Pull in a drake binary for CI, Pull in a drake binary for CI? #352, Add one day to the commit date parsed from git #422
• Infra: Some ignition improvements, Post merge-to-drake-master cleanup tasks #344 ⇨ (delphyne/pull/411, delphyne-gui/pull/103)
• Infra: Python package, Python Package #290 Post merge-to-drake-master cleanup tasks #344 ⇨ delphyne/pull/412
• Infra: Improve the way we're finding agents in tests, Improve the way we're finding the loadable agents in agent_plugin_loader_test.cc #368
• Infra: Simulation Runner should not be compiled as STATIC [Simulation Runner still STATIC #341]
• Infra: Tick off a few more things on the general CMake Cleanup, CMake Cleanup & Other Things #296
• UI/Time: Realtime rate in the rendering window, Show realtime value in visualizer #403
• UI/Time: Gui key-bindings (P, S, R), Keybindings for the time manipulation delphyne_gui#76
• UI/Time: Additional information in the time window, Simulation time information delphyne_gui#77
• UI: can't resize the right hand dock, Can't resize the right hand dock delphyne_gui#107
• UI: sometimes not resizing the rendering on loading, Not resizing the rendering window ... sometimes delphyne_gui#110
