Re: [whatwg/encoding] Amount of bytes to sniff for encoding detection (#102)

For what it's worth, the spec kind of documents this: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#encoding-sniffing-algorithm

> Optionally prescan the byte stream to determine its encoding. The end condition is that the user agent decides that scanning further bytes would not be efficient. User agents are encouraged to only prescan the first 1024 bytes. User agents may decide that scanning any bytes is not efficient, in which case these substeps are entirely skipped.
