netlib function used to receive a string expected to arrive with "sendstring"
it will verify the string with the sender, it needs to know who will be sending the string.
timeout argument is optional, if provided acts like a timeout just as rednet.receive() does.
if no timeout is provided, listens untill it hears it's call.
usage:
local temp = netlib.receive(client, timeout)
output:
returns the string if the data was verified
returns false if it failed to verify
