Closes #498
Currently, HTTParty errors when you try to parse JSON that has a utf-8 BOM. Since .NET applications automatically prepend the BOM characters, this severely limits the usefulness of HTTParty when talking to Windows-based JSON services.
This PR resolves that issue by stripping the BOM characters before parsing the JSON response.
