[PATCH 1/3] utf8-bom: introduce skip_utf8_bom() helper

With the recent change to ignore the UTF8 BOM at the beginning of .gitignore files, we now have two codepaths that do such a skipping (the other one is for reading the configuration files). Introduce utf8_bom[] constant string and skip_utf8_bom() helper and teach .gitignore code how to use it. Si
