Kill gazebo process quicker

To make Gazebo die sooner, edit the file at /opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/roslaunch/nodeprocess.py:

Near line 57, change the timeouts to be:

_TIMEOUT_SIGINT  = 0.5 #seconds
_TIMEOUT_SIGTERM = 0.5 #seconds

This will cause ROS to send a kill signal much sooner.
