Currently, dynamixel_workbench_controllers does not have a follow_joint_trajectory action interface, which is the common interface to move robot joints.
In addition, it does not support a reduction between an actuator and a joint.

Those features can be achieved by using ros_control, which is the common controller architecture in ROS (e.g., https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/open_manipulator_controls ).
Previously, we usually write a hardware layer for each robot (hardware_interface::RobotHW) using DynamixelWorkbench class in dynamixel_workbench_toolbox.
Although that layer may include some features unique to each robot, it should also have a common part as long as it uses ros_control and DynamixelWorkbench class.

This PR extracts that common part and organizes it into dynamixel_general_hw package.
I think this package can be merged into dynamixel-workbench because this package purely depends on dynamixel-workbench packages and released common packages (e.g., ros_control packages).
