**
*F  RdPerm( <hdFirst>, <follow> ) . . . . . . . . . . . .  read a permutation
**
**  'RdPerm' reads the rest of a permutation, which starts '( <hdFirst>, ...'
**  'RdPerm' returns the handle of the new created variable permutation  bag.
**  In case of an error it skips all symbols up to one contained in <follow>.
**
**      <Permutation>   :=  ( <Expr> {, <Expr>} ) { ( <Expr> {, <Expr>} ) }
**
**  If the permutation is constant,  i.e., if all <Expr> are simple integers,
**  'RdPerm' converts the 'T_MAKEPERM' to a 'T_PERM' by calling 'EvMakeperm'.
**
**  'RdPerm' is somewhat special, since all other reader functions are called
**  with the current Symbol beeing the first of the  construct  to  be  read,
**  while 'RdPerm' is called with the current Symbol beeing the ',', which is
**  the first moment we know that we read a permutation and not an expression
**  in parenthesis. This is the reason for the uncommon  argument  <hdFirst>.
**
**  To speed up reading of permutations, the varperm bag is enlarged  by  256
**  handles a time and shrunk to the correct size in the end, and the  cycles
**  bags are initially created with the size of the largest cycle encountered
**  so far.  It follows that for permutations of prime  order  no  nontrivial
**  'Resize' is ever needed.  Cycles are enlarged, if ever 16 handles a time.
