rDLDNPM399ae2d86601: npm.client: Ensure package.json parsing

Summary

Ensure package.json file can be parsed when its content can not be properly decoded
due to the encoding not properly detected.

So try to decode from utf-8 first, then use chardet as a fallback using the replace error hanling to replace characters that can not be decoded.

Even if the package.json content can not be correctly loaded, this is not critical
as these data are only added to a swh revision metadata. Original package.json file
can still be obtained from the archive content.

This should fix this kind of reported errors:

It exists other type of package.json parsing errors not related to encoding issues, so planning changes to handle all of them in that diff.

How many packages do have that particular issue?

Around 500 packages failed to load due to that decoding error: http://kibana0.internal.softwareheritage.org:5601/goto/d433443eca4b4ff7589361528366d05c

It also exists some parsing errors due to malformed JSON files: http://kibana0.internal.softwareheritage.org:5601/goto/22a17c68b569557ad17940ecd425e797

What if you try to read them as UTF-8, and fall back to chardet if it fails?

eg. I looked at one of the errors (for https://www.npmjs.com/package/stb-cli ), and this would fix the issue:

>>> b = open('package.json', 'rb').read()
>>> import chardet
>>> chardet.detect(b)
{'language': 'Turkish', 'confidence': 0.4514518884746974, 'encoding': 'Windows-1254'}
>>> s = b.decode('Windows-1254')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/encodings/cp1254.py", line 15, in decode
    return codecs.charmap_decode(input,errors,decoding_table)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 115: character maps to <undefined>
>>> s = b.decode('utf-8')
>>>

Yes, I noticed that too. That's the direction I am currently taking for the decoding issue.

Update: refine JSON loading code and fix more errors related to package.json parsing
