readEmpFromFile
Implement a function readEmpFromFile that takes a FILE * as the only argument and returns a pointer to a struct employee. This function should read the information from the file (reversing what writeEmpToFile does), create a new employee and fill in the data. If the FILE has no more info (is at end of file), this function should return NULL. This function must also ensure any employee actually created (not the NULL) is added to the array (as is done in createEmployee).
Change main to load employees from a file using a command called LOAD which is given to the program using (using your readEmpFromFile function you just wrote).
