xlsx: use TextDecoder and TextEncoder in browser

Doing a profiling in chrome dev tools shows that the `Buffer.toString()` and `Buffer.from(string)` is using unexpected long cpu time. With the native TextDecoder and TextEncoder it can get much faster in browsers supporting it.
On browsers not supporting TextDecoder, like Internet Explorer, this would fallback to original `Buffer.toString()` and `Buffer.from(string)`.
This implements almost the same of exceljs#1458 in a non monkey-patching way covering xlsx only.
Closes exceljs#1458
