add launch files

[k-okada]

this will provide re-usable launch file for opencv_apps users

Is providing launch file for each node really useful for users?
I think the ROS beginners can't use <include> tag in roslaunch and professionals don't use <include> because it is less customizable (can't use nodelet with an nodelet manager).
IMO providing sample launch files is enough, because user can copy the lines from it.

yes, I'm aware of nodelt case, and try to rewrite all launch file with
nodelt and 'use_standalone' arg option to run manager for each launch file.

from ros-perception/vision_opencv#121,

• rosrun opencv_apps camshift did not work,
• hard to understand test file, for example, we have to remove image_proc
  but that's difficult to understand
• no information of parameters, need to see wiki

with launch file

• roslaunch --rosargs camshift.launch provides information of params
• you can copy camshift.launch to your directory and modify it

+1 for installing launch directory.
Also +1 for the idea of making a node definition "portable/dependable" by making them a launch file.
