Gracefully handle SIGINT

I noticed a similar issue in the `joint_state_publisher` that was fixed in https://github.com/RobotWebTools/rosbridge_suite/pull/794/files regarding graceful shutdown of the python node. Should the same fix be applied? Which is to move...

I'm using a robot that publishes joint_states with best_effort reliability. A best_effort subscriber can receive both best effort and reliable topics. See https://github.com/ros/robot_state_publisher/blob/72e73579d1ffe55e6d92c028d2b6bb311eed8770/src/robot_state_publisher.cpp#L146

Use dynamic reconfigure instead of standalone gui?

1

The dynamic reconfigure option could use https://github.com/pal-robotics/ddynamic_reconfigure_python (`ros-kinetic-ddynamic-reconfigure-python`). If the user wanted a standalone gui they could use https://github.com/lucasw/dynamic_reconfigure_tools/tree/master/rqt_dr_single (which I could split out into a standalone repo and actually...

_From @Linkeway on November 4, 2016 4:3_ I think it would be nice that the joint_state_publisher support publishing velocity and position using GUI . _Copied from original issue: ros/robot_model#164_
