[issue1812] doctest _load_testfile function -- newline handling seems incorrect

Ah, I got it wrong, get_data itself uses `rb`, not default `r`.
It makes sense given that package data could be any kind of file, not necessarily text.  Too bad there isn’t a `get_text(encoding)` method in the loader API!

With Python 3’s rich IO system, isn’t there a quick and correct way to get a text file from a bytes stream?  TextIOWrapper?
