Removed unnecessary line to clone moveit_tutorials.git which was already done in the previous wstool merge.

This is to remove the issue of user facing:
fatal: destination path 'moveit_tutorials' already exists and is not an empty directory.
while running:
git clone https://github.com/ros-planning/moveit_tutorials.git -b master

Fixes #424.

I'm somewhat hesitant regarding this change: For experienced users, it is helpful to just have the git clone command there as well. On the other hand, you are right that inexperienced users get distracted by the error message.
When removing the clone command, the surrounding text needs to be adapted as well as indicated below.


To easily follow along with these tutorials, you will need a **ROBOT_moveit_config** package. The default demo robot is the Panda arm from Franka Emika. To get a working **panda_moveit_config** package, we recommend you install from source.

Within your `catkin <http://wiki.ros.org/catkin>`_ workspace, download the tutorials as well as the ``panda_moveit_config`` package: ::
