Description
See https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server/issues/824#issuecomment-436028869
Basically, follow the lead of Django (web framework, written in Python) when normalising the usernames for slugs.
This could please an international audience.
Unicode is hard, so use a lib (see linked comment).
