Remove diacritics in search when pinging someone

In non english languages, names can have diacritics, for instance accents.
When typing @ to ping someone, the search should ignore diacritics.

Example :
Élise is a username on the server.

When I type @Eli , @Élise is not proposed in the quick results, because of the accent.

Expected behaviour :
Élise is proposed in the quick results

  This feature definitely needs to be added.

  This has been bothering me in so many servers. Hard agree on this.

  This should be added in as a toggleable feature.

  Some languages like Finnish concider certain letters with diacritics fundamentally different letters and this could be potentially very disturbing if it couldn't be turned off.
