Bug #32834

Description
UTF Byte Order Mark (BOM) can cause trouble, when they occur at the beginning of a file and TYPO3 functions don't skip this.
t3lib_div::getUrl() should just return the file's contents with BOM stripped (if there was one..). IMHO it's more metadata than part of the content.
See also Wikipedia: BOM
Files
I'm not sure if it's the best way to remove the BOM in getUrl(), because theoretically this could be any file, not only text files.
If we introduce this behavior once and have to remove it again, because of troubles with non-text files, we'll have regressions with extensions already expecting the automatic BOM removal.

What about raising a warning in case of a BOM?
Sounds good. Warning in which log?
As we have now one central logging, I think it should go there.
But also why should we warn if it is a file that must contain BOM? We will throw errors for something that is normal.
