For binary STLs, the header is an 80 byte string of the form:
solid NameOfTheSolidHere
This library now parses that header and sets the Solid.name
property accordingly.
The original documentation read that binary STLs have no concept
of an object name. However, Wikipedia[0] suggests that some binary
STL files still use a header that begins 'solid '. In fact, exporting
from FreeCAD[1] results in a binary STL that has a fleshed out header.
