Title: Adds loader and html example for ascii STL files

Modeled after the latest OBJLoader, this supports loading of an ascii encoded STL file.
This is useful for people who work with CAD programs that can save to STL (e.g. Solidworks) and don't want to (or can't) convert to another representation.

I admit that binary support is important since the file size can be drastically smaller, and I will look into that in the near future.

I can also provide a more interesting/ complex STL file for the example to load... the "slotted_disk" is just the only thing I could dig up from this computer. :)
