    Merges refactorings for locomotion environment training (#93) · 4ba7a0f0
    Mayank Mittal authored
    # Description
    
    This MR merges all the refactorings done to make the legged locomotion
    environment training work. It includes the following:
    * `ActionManager` class: To handle various action terms and provide
    flexibility for HRL.
    * Actuator simplification: We no longer have actuator groups. All that
    is handled externally to the robot.
    * Sensor optimization: Lazy sensor updates (only updated when `data` is
    called)
    * Update to new RSL-RL library
    * TerrainImporter: It does import on initialization instead of expecting
    input from users.
    
    This MR breaks the behavior of the following (many of which need to be
    fixed):
    * `RobotBase` : Now there are two methods `write_commands_to_sim` and
    `refresh_sim_data` that dictate sim read/write.
    * `ActuatorGroups`: Doesn't exist anymore.
    * `SensorBase`: Drop for the support of different backends (was not
    supported earlier but now more explicit)
    
    Fixes #37 , #36
