Wolfgang Hess a2e52f81cf Remove 2D scan matcher covariances. (#307)
This replaces the scaled covariances derived from the Ceres
scan matcher by directly configurable weights. Using covariances
did not provide the expected benefit, and replacing the scaling
matrix by two values will allow a faster evaluation of the cost
function in the future.
