vdf.load will fail in python3 on file-like object that return bytes #2

Ideally the behavior should change to:

[ ] the module should try to decode as utf-8 by default
[ ] there should be a keyword argument for specifying encoding

Probably best to solve this by wrapping string/file inputs into a BufferedReader. That way we can seek forward/back to locate BOM, regardless of the input supporting it.

After some thought it would be best not to try and automatically handle bytes.
