Protobuf and ZMQ bindings for RoboteamTwente

Roboteam proto allows us to move from structure 1 to structure 2, and acts as an in-between structure to eventually move to structure 3.

The structure used for robocup 2018-2019. the main problem is the unnecessary vision repository, which does not do that much, but does slow down the system a little bit. Since we want to stop using ROS this repository has no significant use anymore and we can reduce complexity in our repositories.

Structure 2 is much cleaner. without ROS a replacement for ros params is found by publishing settings which can be set in the interface from roboteam AI. This gives flexibility in configuration. Also roboteam_World is now only acting as a kalman filter and data channel. The output of world_state is not us and them anymore, but blue and yellow. This provides more flexibilty for later on, for example when using an autoref or when using two AI's at once (and displaying them in one interface). The main problem with this structure is that a lot of complexity is hidden in roboteam_ai.

This would be ideal, since the complexity of the interface in roboteam_Ai would be drastically reduced, while the functionality of the interface can greatly improve.

Easiest way to run things is to make some compound executables in CLion that boot everything you need. Make sure you have grsim or ssl-vision running and are listening to the right ports.

running one team:

./kalman_world
./roboteam_ai
./roboteam_robothub 

running two teams:

./kalman_world
./roboteam_ai
./roboteam_robothub 
./roboteam_ai 1
./roboteam_robothub 1
