non-parsing FCS file (and a fix)  #25

Description

@matt-faria

Hi, flow cytometry files from Apogee don't parse with fcs parser.

They (inexplicably) have a bunch of spaces before $P1N in the header, this can be remedied without too much trouble though.

An example of an FCS file with the issue:
https://bitbucket.org/mwfcomp/incubation_experiment/raw/a6ef3685428f6e373442ab0e04b553b36bbcdd48/sample_data/2015-07-08/THP-1%20-%20235%20nm%20Capsule%2016%20hr.fcs

And a (slightly hacky) script to fix this per file:
https://bitbucket.org/mwfcomp/incubation_experiment/raw/a6ef3685428f6e373442ab0e04b553b36bbcdd48/fcs_file_fixer.py

This could be dealt with more elegantly in the parser, I would be happy to put together a solution for it if this is acceptable and this project is still being maintained?
