Fixes #2228
Changed parsing behavior such that regular expressions for elements and versions are now matched against the whole file instead of matching line by line. This makes the parsing process more robust and allows for parsing desired quantities independent of the actual position of the UPF file (See for instance the additional header line mentioned in issue #2228). Since re.search() returns the first match found in the string, there is no major performance impact expected compared to the previous implementation.
