contrib: dataread.m

[Eric Chassande-Mottin]

here is an implementation of dataread.m. it does not
 include all features of the original matlab function but
 in many case, it does the job.

For now why not include this in the octave-forge io package.,..

I realized in the last days that dataread() is sort of redundant
with textread().  BTW, the mathworks webpages mention
that textscan() will replace textread() in the
future. Matlab has a lot of IO functions which does almost the
same thing. I'd rather maintain only one (textread since it does the
job better). In OctaveForge index, I would mention the
other functions with a pointer to the reference one.
