browse/utils: Replace chardet use by charset-normalizer

Antoine Lambert requested to merge anlambert/swh-web:remove-chardet-use-charset-normalizer into master

Chardet does not seem really maintained and failed to properly detect some encodings, resulting in 500 errors when attempting to browse some contents.

So prefer to use the charset-normalizer package instead which is better at detecting encoding while being faster than chardet.

Fixes SWH-WEBAPP-5RP, SWH-WEBAPP-5RY, SWH-WEBAPP-5RV, SWH-WEBAPP-5RX, SWH-WEBAPP-5RW and SWH-WEBAPP-5RT.
