: refactor to just use the csv crate and drop the qsv-sniffer crate

New feature or request. Once marked with this label, its in the backlog.
Currently,
sniff
fails to detect valid CSV files that other qsv commands can successfully open.This is because,
sniff
is powered by the qsv-sniffer crate, which is a qsv-optimized fork of the unmaintained csv-sniffer crate.The csv-sniffer crate uses the Viterbi algorithm to sniff and infer CSV metadata and there are fairly common CSV configurations where it fails.
Describe the solution you'd like
Remove the qsv-sniffer crate altogether and just use the csv crate to get CSV metadata.
Describe alternatives you've considered
There was a discussion to create a clone of python's csv-sniffer in #1719 , but that's a non-trivial project by itself
