Add stripAccents to KStringHandler

[Frederik Gladhorn]

Hi list,
I would like to add one function to KStringHandler which will be used to 
remove accents from QStrings.

This includes all sorts of char variations. "Häáàâllo" will become "Haaaallo".

At this moment KHangMan has code like this to do the same with a list of 
accent chars hardcoded. The list is incomplete and not very reliable. Adding 
support for new languages requires code changes to handle special characters 
right now. This can be avoided by using the unicode functions.
The same applies to Kanagram.

Parley uses the attached method to give feedback for accent mistakes.

The KStringHandler class seems to be the right place for the function. Since 
it only adds a function it is binary compatible.

Please let me know if the patch is ok.

Greetings,
Frederik
