Read an ansistring from the stream and return its value.
ReadAnsiString reads an ansistring from the stream and returns its value. This is a utility function which simply calls the read function several times. The Ansistring should be stored as 4 bytes (a DWord) representing the length of the string, and then the string value itself. The WriteAnsiString function writes an ansistring in such a format.
If the AnsiString cannot be read, a EStreamError exception will be raised.
