⌛ Function utf8_decode() is deprecated

### Prerequisites

- [X] I have searched for similar issues in open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
- [X] I have troubleshooted my issue, and it still exists against the latest stable version of Elementor.

### Description

As per https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/27308

> Elementor does not use this function. This is not coming from Elementor

It's right here, in the very first line of the backtrace:

`plugins/elementor-pro/modules/screenshots/module.php on line 33`

```
$response = wp_remote_get( utf8_decode( $url ) );
```

> Please, troubleshoot your issue before submitting it here,

I have. Please extend me the same courtesy by carefully reading the bug report I have taken the time to submit.

> and make sure to provide the full ELEMENTOR SYSTEM INFO.

Apologies, it seems I accidentally provided the WP built-in status info instead, which I will rectify below. Perhaps a better use of everyone's time could have been allowing me to edit my original issue to provide this.

Backtrace:

```

### Steps to reproduce

1. PHP 8.2 with deprecation notices enabled
2. Only Elementor & Elementor Pro installed
3. Create a new template, the page must reference external CSS/JS to enable the "screenshot proxy mode"
4. Open the Theme Builder / trigger template screenshot generation
5. Note "PHP Deprecated:  Function utf8_decode() is deprecated" in debug log

### Expected behavior

Don't use the deprecated function

### Isolating the problem

- [X] This bug happens when only the Elementor (and Elementor Pro) plugins are active.
- [X] This bug happens with the Hello Elementor theme active.
- [X] I can reproduce this bug consistently by following the steps I described above.
