425: Add read-string, read-string!, write-string procedures to (scheme base)

This was requested by Formal Comment #424.

These procedures would be provided for parallelism with the byte-vector I/O operations:

Byte	Character	Bytevector	String
read-u8	read-char	read-bytevector(!)	read-string(!)
write-u8	write-char	write-bytevector	write-string

If #385 passes, optional start (inclusive) and end (exclusive) index arguments would be added to write-string. Otherwise write-partial-string would be provided.

WG1 voted to adopt read-string and write-string with the same arguments as read-bytevector and write-bytevector. It voted to reject read-string!.
