Remove special characters from output profiles names #300

If possible, it would be nice to remove the special characters (converted to %20, %28 and %29) in the names of the output profiles here: https://github.com/MaartenBaert/ssr/tree/master/data/output-profiles

The % character causes issue at least with RPM, so I had to rename the output profiles for Mageia's simplescreenrecorder package: http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/simplescreenrecorder/current/SPECS/simplescreenrecorder.spec?view=markup

I could use some other character as a replacement for the percent sign. Do you know a character that is definitely safe to use other than -_.~?

Personally I just remove the special characters:

mv High\%20Quality\%20Intermediate.conf HighQualityIntermediate.conf
mv Live\%20Stream\%20\%281000kbps\%29.conf LiveStream1000kbps.conf
mv Live\%20Stream\%20\%282000kbps\%29.conf LiveStream2000kbps.conf
mv Live\%20Stream\%20\%283000kbps\%29.conf LiveStream3000kbps.conf

(+ corresponding changes in the Makefile).

IMO the names are still understandable enough.
