Description
ExifTool always outputs JSON in UTF-8, but exiftool_metadata() decoded the output using locale.getpreferredencoding(False).
On systems where the locale encoding is not UTF-8 (for example Windows cp936/GBK), this can raise UnicodeDecodeError when metadata contains non-ASCII characters.
This PR decodes the JSON output explicitly as UTF-8.
Fixes #1972
