Add a guild-toggleable feature that allows admins to use the bot to normalise usernames, according to Unicode normalisation rules. This results in some ridiculous Unicode usernames to become a bit more normal.

Python's standard library has a unicode module that lets us do this pretty easily.

Nope! It's just a matter of storing the setting for a guild in the database, and when the bot gets an even of someone joining the server, or a user/nick change event, we can check the DB and use this function in Python's stdlib
