Velodyne LIDAR data type is sensor_msgs/LaserScan as opposed to sensor_msgs/PointCloud2

Typically the Velodyne’s data is stored in PointCloud format as opposed to LaserScan. This was the case prior in Gazebo9 but not in the Ignition Gazebo.

I believe this is fixed in the tunnel_circuit branch. Please re-open if the problem persists.
