Fix region-id query issue

[Marcelo-Diament]

By applying the encodeURIComponent, it is possible for the query to receive the value "SW#{sellerId}" in base64, which allows segmenting the catalog by region-id.

What problem is this solving?

I'm trying to segment the catalog displayed in the PLP by region-id. However, when passing the value "SW#{sellerId}" converted to base64 as the value of the selectedFacet "region-id", an error occurs, since this value is sent to MetadataSearchV3, which in turn does not accept the equal symbol ("=").

How to test it?

Access one of the following workspaces and compare its total products number to a GraphQL Query that does the same query and segmentation.

Query:

productSearch(selectedFacets: [{key: "region-id", value: "U1cjb3V0bGV0ZWx1eGJyMDE="}], hideUnavailableItems: true) {
    recordsFiltered
}

Screenshots or example usage:

Describe alternatives you've considered, if any.

If you pass any string other then the "SW#{sellerId}" you'll receive a result with products, but it is a "false positive", that's why it is important to compare the results to the GraphQL Query.

Thanks for reporting this and providing a solution, @Marcelo-Diament. Your contribution helped us identify the issue.

We've decided to remove the special character validation completely, as we've concluded it's no longer necessary. We've implemented this change here.

Because of this, I'll be closing your pull request.
