Review Comment:
   If the file start with `+1\n...`, then it would be consider as header 
instead of value because the current regex parser can reconginize and lead the 
`+1` fallback to `utf+8`.

   for example:
   ```rust
   let csv = "+1\n2\n3\n";
   let explicit_schema = Arc::new(Schema::new(vec![Field::new(
       "value",
       DataType::Int64,
       false,
   )]));
   let explicit_rows: usize = ReaderBuilder::new(explicit_schema)
       .build(Cursor::new(csv))
       .unwrap()
       .map(|batch| batch.unwrap().num_rows())
       .sum();
   assert_eq!(explicit_rows, 3);
   
   let format = Format::default()
       .infer_format(Cursor::new(csv), None)
       .unwrap();
   let (schema, _) = format.infer_schema(Cursor::new(csv), None).unwrap();
   // Would fail
   assert_eq!(schema.field(0).name(), "column_1");
   }
   ```
