[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58813] Document that csvread, dlmread expect regular ASCII files rather than UTF-8.

[Rik]

Update of bug #58813 (project octave):

                Category:         Octave Function => Documentation          
              Item Group:                    None => Documentation          
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
                 Summary: csvread fails to handle 1st cell of CSV as exported
by MS Excel as 'utf-8 CSV' due to byte order mark => Document that csvread,
dlmread expect regular ASCII files rather than UTF-8.

Follow-up Comment #1:

I tested with Matlab and it has the same issue: it fails to read the UTF-8 CSV
file.  I think we should resolve this by documenting that csvread and dlmread
expect regular ASCII files as input.
