* Add option for automatic subtitle character encoding normalization
The rationale behind this function is that some services use ISO-8859-1
(latin1) or Windows-1252 (CP-1252) instead of UTF-8 encoding, whether
intentionally or accidentally. Some services even stream subtitles with
malformed/mixed encoding (each segment has a different encoding).
* Remove Subtitle parameter `auto_fix_encoding`
Just always attempt to fix encoding. If the subtitle is neither UTF-8 nor CP-1252, then it should realistically error out instead of producing garbage Subtitle data anyway.
* Move Subtitle encoding fixing code out of if drm tree
* Use chardet as a last ditch effort fixing Subs, or return original data
* Move Subtitle.fix_encoding method to utilities as try_ensure_utf8
* Add Shivelight as a contributor

It may look like I'm downgrading, but I'm not.
1.5.0 was an incorrect version bump based on TrueDread's fork. v1.4.0 is the next release after, even though it's a lower version. v1.4.0 should be used instead.
This will improve efficiency and accuracy of getting appropriate DRM systems when downloading segments.
This can dramatically improve download speed from less than 50 kb/s to full speed if the HLS playlist used a lot of AES-128 EXT-X-KEYs. E.g., a unique key for each segment.
This was caused because the HLS.get_drm function took EVERY EXT-X-KEY, checked for supported systems, loaded them, and returned the supported objects. This meant it could load possibly 100s of AES-128 ClearKey objects (likely requiring URL downloads for the key URI) causing a huge delay before downloading each segment.
It's not used by devine itself, but it's still a sub-dependency. Remove from being an explicit dependency in case the sub-dependencies ever remove it as well.
