Use utf-16-le if BOM not present

In case no BOM is present in the CSV file the utf-16 codec won't work.
We fail over to utf-16-le as Little Endian is commonly used.

NOTE: The original change landed this fix in efi_utils.py, however
      that was introduced after the Xena development cycle, so this
      backport moves the original change to where the code originally
      came from to populate the efi_utils.py file.

In case the CSV file used for the bootloader hint does not have BOM
we fail reading its content as utf-16 codec is too generic.
