Add-on that allows conversion stl->stp and import of .stp into Alibre Version 2.2

No permission to download
This version includes code contributed by Simon Baxter @simonb65. The changes are largely aimed at improving the import and conversion of STL files generated from Blender but also change some aspects of the STP files generated. Testing against a number of different STL files has not revealed any downsides. If users do find files that will not convert or convert with errors, please let me know.
Additional changes are mostly housekeeping; removing unused imports and correcting formatting.

Updated to version 2.2.
I found a bug in the code used to split multi-body .stl files that could cause problems in the output files. I fixed this issue and have also simplified the output file selection.
Enhanced version with a splitterator to separate stl into individual bodies prior to converting to stp.
Release version 2.0 - Complete rewrite in C# no longer using the slgdev code.
This version is significantly faster and produces smaller .stp files than the original

Important
When installing Release version 2.0. You should first uninstall the earlier AlibreImportStlAsStep Add-on as this may conflict with the new release and cause a duplication of menu items.
The uninstaller should be found in the C:\Program Files\AlibreImportStlAsStep directory
Rebuilt stltostp from sources for release deployment. Previously stltostp was a debug version.
Added runtime libraries to fix error on systems where these may not be present.
Fixed errors in convert dialog to ensure conversion process can be cancelled.
Updated conversion dialog
