Incompatible chardet dependency between this repo and Odoo

[gpothier]

In this repo there is a dependency on pygount: https://github.com/OCA/server-tools/blob/0169df8a9800637d06189e65686ff2b9634a9d0c/requirements.txt#L10 The current version of pygount (1.8.0) requires chardet = "^5" (https://github.com/roskakori/pygount/blob/7113dd74687732e4c5d7195050caea8e83b67c9f/pyproject.toml#L68). However, Odoo itself requires chardet==4.0.0 (https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/09ada135847b96fa58d862568603dde61fcf1488/requirements.txt#L4)

The last version of pygount to support chardet = "^4" is 1.4.0 (https://github.com/roskakori/pygount/blob/49ca668c55d5383c2e512913f3264f1d954bfc7a/pyproject.toml#L68)

If one installs the dependencies from both repositories requirements.txt files, Odoo fails to start:

pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (chardet 5.2.0 (/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages), Requirement.parse('chardet<5,>=3.0.2'), {'requests'})

This can be solved by specifying the compatible version in this repo:

pygount==1.4.0
