Support configuration and auto-detection of CSV dialect #69

@cmsetzer

Description

@cmsetzer

In #64 we added support for detecting and parsing tab-delimited files via the .tsv file extension. At some point we might consider adding support for configuration and auto-detection of CSV dialect regardless of file extension. That way Binoc can handle different delimiters (commas, tabs, pipes) as well as quotes, newlines, escape characters, BOM, etc.

Python's csv.Sniffer may be a useful model for the auto-detection behavior.
