browse: Ensure display of valid utf-8 contents detected as binary

Antoine Lambert requested to merge generated-differential-D2345-source into generated-differential-D2345-target

libmagic sometimes erroneously detects textual contents as binary while they are valid UTF-8 encoded files, so ensure they can be displayed in swh-web/browse.

Also add encoding information in the message printed in the content view when a content can not be displayed.

Test Plan

Turns out that this kind of content are present in the sample repositories used to populate the sample archive for the tests. So add a new test for that corner case.
