[Helper] Add -normalize-match option.

Decomposes string and remove accent characters before matching.
This makes o match ö, é match e and more.
It is not a perfect implementation but works.
Currently disables the match highlighting.

Fixes: #1119

 Disables lazy grab, this forces the keyboard being grabbed before gui is shown.
