Fix encoding detection and exception on empty files

The encoding detection code was trying to catch encoding-related
exceptions when the file is opened. This doesn't make sense, because
at this point no data has been read, therefore no encoding errors can be
detected. Instead, catch encoding-related exceptions when the file
contents are read.

Also avoid bailing out with `Exception('Unknown encoding')` on empty
files.
