Mention Apache's AddDefaultCharset directive in docs
Updates the usage documentation to mention Apache's AddDefaultCharset directive that is included in the default httpd.conf file of some versions of Apache.
Description
This adds a note to the documentation regarding deploying with Apache about looking for the AddDefaultCharset in the httpd.conf and commenting it out if present to prevent issues related to character encoding with replaying archived HTML that uses a different charset.
Motivation and Context
I am suggesting this addition to the documentation because it is an issue I encountered with our production instance of pywb that runs with Apache and uWSGI.
Screenshots (if appropriate):
This is the issue the documentation addition addresses:
