Map server should crop unknown space

[DLu]

I don't think this should be implemented here (in map_server). Since the size of the global costmap is based on the size of the static map, you might want to leave unexplored regions of the map available.

I think this would be better put into the map_saver with the (automatic) option to crop.

Anyone feel strongly either way?

+1 to map_saver

Another usecase is maps without defined limits (typically on simulations,
like gazebo turtlebot demo)

+1 map_server just serving the map without modification sounds the most intuitive to me.

seems there is a consensus that we don't want to implement this feature -- and the patch has also been lost when kforge was shutdown
