[Merged] Draft importAirfoil

[helo]

I have modified the Airfoil importer, because it failed importing files from xfoil or this databse.
Therefore I changed the following

• modified regular expression, now it recognizes exponential notation, e.g. 1.12312E-4
• made the sorting (upper and lower side) of coordinates more flexible , the file can begin with leading or trailing edge now

I uploaded it here: https://github.com/helo9/FreeCAD_sf_mas ... foilimport

the aerofoil database site pops up a window to give you an outline of the aerofoil cross section as the mouse points at one.
