CSV Export with BOM option

[michaelongithub]

Hi Oli
first congrats to Your 4.1. Great as always !

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Very often the CSV Export is used by users to be opened in Excel and the file needs to be a CSV, not Excel for user company handling reasons.

The CSV Export currently writes UTF-8 without BOM.
Excel can open such files not with correctly representing the character set (without configuring an explicit import) if one has special chars, german umlaut etc.

Describe the solution you'd like
Make CSV export standard with BOM or offer that as optional parameter in the table.download("csv", "data.csv", {delimiter:"."}, {bom:true});

Cheers Michael
