## Describe the bug

Documents supporting TOML 1.1.0 syntax no longer work.

## To reproduce

Include a toml document targeting toml v1.1.0 in any chezmoidata
The particular file in my own config that causes the most issues is https://github.com/BurnerWah/dotfiles/blob/main/home/dot_config/exact_private_fish/.chezmoidata/subcommand-abbrev-managed.toml (which is something I *really* don't wanna refactor to be compatible with toml 1.0.0 again)

## Expected behavior

TOML 1.1 documents work

## Output of command with the `--verbose` flag

```console
$ chezmoi --verbose status
chezmoi: /Users/burner/.local/share/chezmoi/home/dot_config/exact_private_fish/.chezmoidata/subcommand-abbrev-managed.toml: toml: invalid character at start of key:
```
