Draft: Support reading of binary DXF files

Jonathan Neuhauser requested to merge joneuhauser/extensions:binary-dxf into master

What does the merge request do?

Closes #400

Draft because I need test files with a suitable license. @Mannshoch could you help here? Ideally, I'd need a binary DXF file with specified license (e.g. that you created) without 3D elements please, because we can't read them anyway.

Implementation notes

I've tried to change as little as possible in the existing code. However this extension would love some refactoring.

Summary for release notes

Binary DXF files (from Autodesk R13 onwards) can now be imported into Inkscape.

Checklist
