New submission from Yuya Nishihara <yuya at tcha.org>:
Some text editors, like Notepad.exe, insert BOM (byte order mark) silently if
you save Mercurial.ini as UTF-8.
IMHO, they shouldn't insert BOM for UTF-8, but it's really hard to debug
because BOM isn't visible. So it seems reasonable to skip/recognize BOM
before reading Mercurial.ini.
