[kepler-dev] BinaryFileReader in PN workflows

[Efrat Frank]

Hi Tristan,

I checked in an updated version of the actor enabling to stream multiple 
files. The main problem with using this actor with multiple files is 
that there is no distinction between output streams sent from different 
files, so you will need to follow it using the endOfFile port.
