RViz MapCloud plugin does not download existing db about rtabmap

2. Yes it is normal if there is not yet a loop closure found between the new 
map (because rtabmap was shutdown) and the old one. 

3. Yes it will download all nodes, but it should only show all nodes if all 
maps are linked together, otherwise only the last node like in RVIZ is shown.

It is not really a bug, though nodes downloaded not linked (directly or 
indirectly) to the current map were not created/buffered in the MapCloud plugin 
as they are in rtabmapviz. I added this buffering in the MapCloud plugin 
(r1673). So when a global loop closure happens with an old map, no need to 
re-trigger DownloadMap in RVIZ.

Many thanks for the explanation and the update.  Works nicely now in RViz.
