Read in a text file generated by Eprime

1	read_eprime(filename, remove_clock = TRUE)

`filename`	Either the full or relative path to an Eprime .txt file
`remove_clock`	Whether to exclude the Clock.Information XML entries. Enabled by default.

The encoding on an Eprime txt file should be UCS-2 Little Endian, but sometimes this is not the case. We delegate the fussy encoding details to the stringi::str_read_lines function.

If the file is not an Eprime txt–that is, if it is missing the lines *** Header Start *** and *** Header End ***–a warning is raised and the lines of text are replaced by a dummy header.

Each line of the file is stored and returned in a character vector.
