Prevent preview binary or large file (#939)

* Prevent preview binary or large file (#847)

* fix wrong method name

* fix add use trait

* update lock file

* rename MAX_PREVIEW_SIZE from MAX_BYTE_PREVIEW

* read small bytes to determine cotent type

* [WIP] add preview struct to represent calcurated preveiw

* Refactor content type detection

- Remove unwraps
- Reuse a single read buffer to avoid 1kb reallocations between previews

* Refactor preview rendering so we don't construct docs when not necessary

* Replace unwarap whit Preview::NotFound

* Use index access to hide unwrap

Co-authored-by: Blaž Hrastnik <blaz@mxxn.io>

* fix Get and unwarp equivalent to referce of Index acess

* better preview implementation

* Rename Preview enum and vairant

Co-authored-by: Gokul Soumya <gokulps15@gmail.com>

* fixup! Rename Preview enum and vairant

* simplify long match

* Center text, add docs, fix formatting, refactor
