Summary: Raytrace error messages don't refer to offending solid.

Initial Comment:
When ray tracing some objects, one gets an error 
message through 'bu_log' like:

  'rt_poly_findroot:  didn't converge in 20 iterations...'

But the offending primitive's name is not given.  A 
workaround is to turn on debugging flags, but an 
enhanced error message would be better for users of 
BRL-CAD applications.

Added a string parameter to the root finder calling
sequence.  The primitives use this to pass the name of the
primitive.  The root finder prints this on the end of the
diagnostic line.  Since the root finder is used outside the
primitives (see proc-db/kurt.c), this allows arbitrary text
to be displayed.
