nodemon can't read config files encoded with BOM e.g. UTF-8-BOM

[aresilek]

If you create a nodemon.json configuration file encoded with BOM such as UTF-8-BOM nodemon fails to load the configuration with the error:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ? in JSON at position 0
at Object.parse (native)
at <%APPDATA%>\npm\node_modules\nodemon\lib\config\load.
js:180:23
at tryToString (fs.js:456:3)
at FSReqWrap.readFileAfterClose [as oncomplete] (fs.js:443:12)
[nodemon] Failed to parse config \nodemon.json

The issue seems to be that fs doesn't strip BOM characters by design and JSON.parse [correctly] chokes when it sees the BOM character as invalid JSON.
