(Possibly related to #495490?)

glib's gmarkup.c chokes on UTF-8 "BOM". Moreover,
metadata/mono-config.c:parse_error is a no-op; so e.g. dllmaps in app.config's
created using, say, VS 2008 default encoding are silently ignored

Arguably, the fix should go in glib/gmarkup.c:g_markup_parse_context_parse ...
Otherwise metadata/mono-config.c:mono_config_parse_xml_with_context could skip
the silly bits.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a wrapper around zlib for (corrupted?) .gz files which IO.Compression
doesn't manage
2. Write the appropriate app.config, save it as UTF-8 with BOM
3. Try your app
Actual Results:  
Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: zlib1


Expected Results:  
*** glibc detected *** mono: free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007f1d8588dd60 ***
(well, my wrapper is obviously buggy :) )
