Subject: [PATCH] Wire numbers CSV export: write a UTF-8 BOM and drop stray
 pointer line
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Since the Qt6 port QTextStream always writes UTF-8 (Qt5 used the
locale codec, ANSI on Windows). Without a BOM Excel opens the file as
ANSI, so any non-ASCII character in a wire number is mangled, e.g. an
en dash prefix "–010" becomes "–010" (forum topic 3221).
Write a BOM, as the parts list export already does.

Also `stream << &Qt::endl(stream)` streamed the address of the
stream, adding a bogus last line like "0xa78cffb090"; wiresNum()
already terminates every line, so just drop it.
