[issue5758] fileinput.hook_compressed returning bytes from gz file

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com> added the comment:

gzip.open() only implements the "rb" mode, and returns bytes.
fileinput could certainly wrap it with a io.TextIOWrapper.

Then the encoding issue arises.
fileinput.FileInput should grow an "encoding" parameter instead of always relying on the default encoding.
