Issue(s) addressed: #171.

Not directly mentioned in it, but helps with refactoring sim launch because you don't have to run download model step in sim.launch.py

Description:

Instead of running the gz model download step in sim.launch, it's better to just track all gz resources that we are using in monorepo.

It might have been easier to just track the files directly in to monorepo, so just directly copying the files, then adding whatever we need. It could also be better because its less submodule bloat.

I don't have a strong opinion on this, but here are some things to keep in mind:

The submodule I added is a fork of px4's px4-gazebo-models repo, and that main branch is what they use for the simulation-gazebo model downloads. If we want to pull in any changes from upstream/main, then having a submodule would be easier, but I honestly don't really see a big reason to be updating frequently.

And if we want to modify, we need to PR in the submodule, merge into submodule main, then update monorepo pinned tag on the submodule, then remind ppl to run git submodule update --init --recursive
