Issue: Handling a BOM with .json()
Anybody know how I should be handling a BOM with a returned json payload? Right now i'm getting this error when calling res.json()
`Exception: FetchError: invalid json response body at https://api_that_returns_json_with_bom reason: Unexpected token ? in JSON at position 0`

I tried adding an Accept header of `application/json; charset=utf-8` but that didn't resolve the issue.
Pull request description: fix: handle bom in text and json
<!-- Thanks for contributing! -->

## Purpose
long over due problem to an easy fix... `.text()` & `.json()` didn't handle BOM correctly

## Changes
switch `buffer.toString()` to `TextDecoder().decode()`
