Broadcast FIDE player guessing + replacements: match characters ä, ö, ü, ß #15152

ö < - > oe ä < - > ae ü < - > ue ß < - > ss

The characters on the left are very common in for example German names and included in broadcast sources like the German Bundesliga, but the FIDE player guessing won't work because FIDE always uses the characters on the right (Matthias Blübaum -> Matthias Bluebaum) and the best way to handle this currently is to add multiple entries for the same player in the broadcast player replacements to make one of the names match.

15235 only targeted half of this issue (the "+ replacements" part),

the "FIDE player guessing" part is remaining
