TextIOWrapper doesn't support seek to an arbitrary byte. It uses "cookie"
which is an opaque value. Reuse a cookie from another file or an old cookie is
forbidden (but it doesn't raise an error). This is not specific to the BOM
checking: the problem already exist for encodings using a BOM (eg. UTF-16).

Don't change anything to writing.
With Antoince choice: open('file.txt', 'w', encoding=None) continue to use the
actual heuristic (os.device_encoding() or system locale).
With Guido choice, encoding="BOM": it raises an error, because BOM check is
not supported when writing into a file. How could the BOM be checked when
creating a new (empty) file!?
