[Rock-dev] rock-drivers/hokuyo for UST-20LX

[Janosch Machowinski]

The UST Protocol states, that it is designed to be compatible
with the UTM-30-LX-EW. Therefor the EW branch looks like
a good starting point.

I took a short look at the EW branch. If I didn't miss something,
the branch should also be compatible with the LX series.
