Ascii reader error changes - fix small bugs

The changes are now a bit more succinct with less code changes required.
Behavior is tested a little bit more thoroughly and a memory problem
when reading incomplete lines was fixed. ReadHeader also always directly
returns if header reading failed.

Error messages now are back to what they were before the change, if the
new behavior is not used.

I also tweaked the documentation text a bit.
