Add check for passed reader contribution (#301)

Following the report
[here](https://napari.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/212875-general/topic/reader.20plugin.20issue.20with.200.2E4.2E18)
, this PR updates the `_read` function to check if a specific reader
contribution of the form `plugin_name.reader_contribution` was passed as
`plugin_name`. This worked before #297 (though it was **not** part of
the intended public API), but will not work with `npe2>0.7.0` without
this change.

Note that this PR does not throw a specific error if the given plugin
doesn't exist - we can add a check for that but it's actually
non-trivial since the only public reader method atm is
`iter_compatible_readers`. We arguably should never be passing a
non-existent plugin this level deep so maybe that's ok.

No doubt `napari` tests will now fail, but I will go and make those
updates separately...
