Incorporate accent normalization/neutral search in players.find_players_by_(full/last/first)_name

[mxufc29]

In the players.get_players() and players.find_players_by_(full/last/first)name functions, the list contains accented player names (Luka Dončić, Nikola Jokić, etc), and in order to correctly finding players by name, the input parameters must have the accents as well find_players_by_full_name('Jokic') returns empty). Since regex notation doesn't natively support accent removal, some suggestions to improve usability:
a) could players.find_players_by(full/last/first)name functions incorporate accent neutral searching (input string unaccented matching to accented player name)? Adding a function such as the below:
"""
def strip_accents(inputstr: str) -> str:
normalizedstr = unicodedata.normalize('NFD', inputstr)
stripped = ''
return stripped.join(charx for charx in normalizedstr if unicodedata.category(charx) != 'Mn')
"""
or
b) could an additional entry be added to the static player list with the unaccented player name (if applicable)? then the players.find_players_by(full/last/first)_name functions could attempt to match to both the accented and unaccented versions of the names.

@mxufc29 - Thanks for calling this out.

I'd be in favor of option A, unicode normalized seach. This should be the most transparent way for the users so that anyone using accents for search would be oblivious to the modification.

If you're up for submitting a PR with a unit test, I'll review, merge, and get an update out.
