Patch release and new packages for ROS 2 Crystal Clemmys 2019-04-08

The new release of ROS 2 Crystal Clemmys is here!

This release includes an update to the default RMW provider, Fast-RTPS, along with improvements to launch, rclpy, and rmw_fastrtps. As always you can read the full details on the tracking issue for this release.

With the upgrade to Fast-RTPS, macOS users no longer need to use the tinyxml2@6.2.0 package from the osrf/homebrew-simulation tap. The installation instructions are being updated in ros2/ros2_documentation#162.
