[Lazarus] Replacing accented letters

[Denis Kozlov]

You could use Unicode character decomposition.

For example, é (U+00E9) can be decomposed into an equivalent string of 
the base letter e (U+0065) and combining acute accent (U+0301).

Then, you could simply delete combining acute accents, leaving just the 
base letters.
