Added data for the Matlab string chunk reader

> Can you summarize again why chunk3 reading is slow? The use of varlength ints (`lenlenght=f.read(1); len=f.read(lenlength);value=f.read(len);`; for timestamps `if(f.read(1) ts=f.read(8);`) means that the data has to be read in...

The channel count for lsl streams is already limited to 31 bits, so more wouldn't make sense for it to be larger in the xdf file. I could bump the...

Just to clarify: the different functions are there to let the compiler prevent you from giving the wrong data type to a single `push_sample(void*)` function. The push (and pull) functions...
