Describe the bug
I see the Magic operation list Encode_text('UTF-7 (65000)') results with low entropy (giving the if they're good).

I think the magic operation should skip UTF-7 encode operation unless "Extensive language support" is enabled.

Example:

To Reproduce
Paste any random hexadecimal string in the input, use the Magic operation.

Expected behaviour
Operations that have high change of false positives should be avoided by default.

Desktop:

CyberChef version: 10.19.0
