Refactor / Improve blueview driver

Jason and I had some discussion of using this class: http://www.blueview.com/documentation/ProViewer-SDK-4.0-Manual/classBVTSDK_1_1RangeProfile.html
@ironmig your dibs will be honored. You don't have the information to generate a point cloud from a single frame, @kingkevlar will work on generating a 2d occupancy grid and later on someone could work on reconstructing a 3d cloud if they choose to, although this is no trivial task. It would be nice if you published ping data or a range profile besides just the image.
You could do a 2d point cloud no? With a laserscan

Ehhh, you're right, I reserve the word point cloud for higher dimensional things.
It's a manifold of your "higher" dimensional space
Make sure that you pull request your changes to mil_common and use the domain name for the sonar instead of it's IP address. Also, your definitions are fake news @DSsoto.
This should really be in the mil_common repo.
Is this ready to close? Or will @kingkevlar be adding her stuff to the driver.
