readTilesfunction
A LIST OF TILES AS TEXT, read the forgiving way: each word is a tile's name (east, red-dragon, 3p) or a
run of one-letter codes (abcF), and hand notation (123m456p) is read as it is written. Words that are no
tile are dropped, and so is ., the empty slot. A bare word that is a name wins over its letters, so east is the
east wind and not four tiles.
