/**
* Reads a list of dehydrated triangulations from the given text file.
* The file should contain one dehydration string per line. These
* strings will be rehydrated as described in
* NTriangulation::insertRehydration().
*
* A newly allocated container will be returned; the imported
* triangulations will be inserted as children of this container.
* The container will not be assigned a label. The individual
* triangulations will be assigned labels according to the parameter
* \a colLabels.
*
* If any dehydrations strings are invalid, these will be recorded in an
* additional text packet that will be the last child of the returned
* container.
*
* If an I/O error occurred while trying to read the given file, 0 will be
* returned.
*
* In its simplest form, the text file can simply contain one
* dehydration string per line and nothing else. However, more complex
* formats are allowed. In particular, by passing appropriate values
* for the arguments \a colDehydrations and \a colLabels, the dehydration
* strings and triangulation packet labels can be taken from arbitrary
* columns of the text file. Columns are considered to be separated by
* whitespace and are numbered beginning at 0.
*
* \i18n This routine makes no assumptions about the
* \ref i18n "character encoding" used in the given file \e name, and
* simply passes it through unchanged to low-level C/C++ file I/O routines.
* It assumes however that the \e contents of the file are in UTF-8.
*
* @param filename the name of the text file from which to read.
* @param colDehydrations the column of the text file containing the
* dehydration strings.
* @param colLabels the column of the text file containing the
* triangulation packet labels. If this is negative then the dehydration
* strings themselves will be used as packet labels.
* @param ignoreLines the number of lines at the beginning of the text
* file that should be ignored completely.
* @return a new container as described above, or 0 if an I/O error occurred
* whilst reading the given file.
