Revamped multi car simulation #16

Status

*READY

Enables users to simulate multiple cars

To run the simulation, run the following command

roslaunch mushr_sim multi_car.launch

Then, open multi_car.rviz (located in /mushr_utils/rviz) in rviz to show the cars.

To adjust the number of cars, modify the variable n in multi_car.py, then manually add the new cars in rviz

The cars are named starting with car0 and increasing in numerical order (i.e. car0, car1, car2, car3, etc.)

The cars also cycle through the different colors available, so that it's easier to differentiate between them in the visualization.

Since this is my first major PR, I'd appreciate it if I could get feedback on it as far as formatting/documentation goes
