Kal Woodside a79de663fc Issue 5898 -- Allow Accented Letters (#5899)
## About The Pull Request

resolves: https://github.com/Bubberstation/Bubberstation/issues/5898

Extend _HELPERS/text.dm reject_bad_name to allow for the first block of
extended Latin characters. All characters not permissed by this new
block are still treated as "symbol." E.g. Ň (which looks similar to Ñ)
is in the second block of extended characters and will continue to be
treated as a symbol with the undefined behavior that entails.

Scope Creep: Also disable auto-capitalization after an apostrophe so
that names with glottal stops can be correctly formatted.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Players should be allowed more flexibility to have non-English names for
their characters. While it is impractical to allow every single
non-English character, especially since this would encourage a form of
intrusive naming abuse, I believe this first block of Latin characters
allowed for much more flexibility in character naming without being too
chaotic.

Scope Creep: Correctly format names with glottal stops, for similar
reasons.
## Proof Of Testing

Not much to show off.
