Detect charset and convert non UTF-8 files for display (#4950)

* Detect charset and convert non UTF-8 files for display

* Refactor and move function to correct module

* Revert unrelated changes

* More unrelated changes

* Duplicate content for small text to have better encoding detection

* Check if original content is valid before duplicating it
