Do not use mb_convert_encoding with HTML-ENTITIES as target encoding

This is deprecated since PHP 8.2:

    Deprecated: mb_convert_encoding(): Handling HTML entities via mbstring is deprecated; use htmlspecialchars, htmlentities, or mb_encode_numericentity/mb_decode_numericentity instead

It was used because `DOMDocument`, which uses libxml2 internally, will parse the HTML as ISO-8859-1, unless the document contains an XML encoding declaration or HTML meta tag setting character set.
Since first such element wins, putting the `meta[charset]` up front will ensure the parser uses the correct encoding, even if the document contains incorrect meta tag (e.g. when the document is converted to UTF-8 without also updating the metadata by the software passing it to Readability).
