[Nauty-list] readgraph()

The easiest (and a very compact) way to save packed graphs is by
writing them to a file with writeg6(). They can then be loaded from
that file with opengraphfile() and, for each graph, readg(). Also, by
saving them this way, you can very easily use your file of saved
graphs with all of the gtools programs.

If you want a human-readable way to save them, I think I would still
recommend this approach but also mention that you can use the gtools
program listg on your saved file to view or convert the graphs in your
graph6 file to a human-readable format.
