[issue5332] csv sniffer

[Skip Montanaro]

I verified the bug.  I started to work on a patch (see attached), but
it quickly seems to get out-of-hand with tracebacks about stuff not
supporting the buffer API.  I suspect the real solution might involve
doing something to convert the bytes to strings read when in binary mode,
but I don't have any idea how to finesse the requirement of bytes() for
an encoding arg.
