fix(rank): report a tracker that is not UTF-8 instead of a traceback (#639)

* fix(rank): report a tracker that is not UTF-8 instead of a traceback

A job_search_tracker.csv saved with a spreadsheet's plain "CSV" type is
written in the ANSI code page, so one accented company name raised a
UnicodeDecodeError traceback in `rank_state.py candidates` and stopped
/rank at Step 1. Exit 1 with a one-line message instead.
