QGC should connect to OpenUAV docker container

[darknight-007]

Investigate which port needs to be forwarded, and try connecting QGC on machine on internet (without any firewalls), to docker container PX4 UAV(s) on airborne. Test UAV position/pose, and commanding.

I was able to do this on the pennair quad by adding the following argument to the Mavros launch file: <arg name="gcs_url" default="udp://@192.168.2.1" /> That IP address is of my base station (so the computer on which QGC is running). In QGC, you setup a new comm link with the target host of the quad IP (so in this case the docker IP) and the listening port of 14550. <img width="500" alt="screen shot 2017-07-14 at 10 19 25 am" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/15643847/28216018-01678894-687e-11e7-83e9-b0b29beaa127.png">

Terrific this worked great! I actually didn't have to add the commlink surprisingly. Thank you
