Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-android/issues/15

There's an issue parsing native config files saved from "bigger" Amnezia app.
Under Windows it seems like most of text editors are saving with UTF-8 BOM prefix, which causes the parser to emit "unknown-section".
Forcing text editor to save as ANSI / BOM-less solves the problem.
That should be added to FAQ probably.

Since we're not saving, but copy-pasting from the app, we're using our editor of choice.
