_collect_file_pytest7 requires UTF-8 encoding

I tried to run tests for diff_cover==8.0.0 with pytest-perf==0.13.1 installed and the test collection failed:

________________________ ERROR collecting test session _________________________

    (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
E   UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc6 in position 72: invalid continuation byte

The failure is because the diff_cover-8.0.0/tests/fixtures/snippet_8859.py file is not in UTF-8 but _collect_file_pytest7 expects that all .py files are encoded in UTF-8.

The solution (or workaround) for the problem is obvious: uninstall or disable pytest-perf while running tests for diff_cover.

Anyway, I'm reporting this here for consideration to make pytest-perf more tolerant about file encodings. If that's not possible or desirable or whatever feel free to close this bug.

Thank you.

Agreed - it should be tolerant of alternate encodings.
