Eugene Yurtsev e46202829f feat #4479: TextLoader auto detect encoding and improved exceptions (#4927)
# TextLoader auto detect encoding and enhanced exception handling

- Add an option to enable encoding detection on `TextLoader`. 
- The detection is done using `chardet`
- The loading is done by trying all detected encodings by order of
confidence or raise an exception otherwise.

### New Dependencies:
- `chardet`

Fixes #4479 

## Before submitting

<!-- If you're adding a new integration, include an integration test and
an example notebook showing its use! -->
