BLOCK elements in DXF are re-usable bits that are useful when editing
the file but should not be shown when importing the model. This skips
all references except those that exist in the default "*Model_Space".
This block is required in each DXF file and cannot be renamed.

(cherry picked from commit df3fabfa21)

the GRAPHICS_IMPORT_PLUGIN object which makes sharing the settings in
the GRAPHICS_IMPORTER unwieldy. This fix is a ugly hack that resolves
the issue. The underlying issue will require some major refactoring.
