[Rock-dev] Place for the robot model and simulation scenes in the bundle

Having a standard place ? Definitely a good idea !

However, I would avoid creating new toplevel directories (that's for
simulation/). In addition, models/robots would be confusing with the
concept of robots in syskit (syskit being what the models/ folder is
used for)

I liked data, in flatfish we're starting to have

for the models
   data/models/MODEL_NAME (e.g. data/models/flat_fish)
for the gazebo worlds
   data/gazebo/worlds

I would definitely not mind renaming data/gazebo to data/simulation
