Subject: [PATCH] [utilities] Relax from hard dependency of python3-magic

For compatibility reasons on some distros, sos should not have a hard
dependency on 'magic' python library. It should attempt to use it for
detection of binary file content, but should fall back to previous "read
the very first byte" method otherwise.

Resolves: #3025
Relates: #3021
