Followups for rmf_demos release:

• Find a way to distribute assets. Downloading models into ~/.gazebo/models via building_map_tools will not work.
• Drop rmf_demos_dashboard -> default to rmf_web https://github.com/open-rmf/rmf_demos/pull/235
• Verify apt versions of critical python modules are available
• Update assets with new plugin tags if any
• Create a rmf-desktop-full binary variant that installs binaries upto rmf-dev and rmf-demos
