 Attachments: Fix issues with uploading a file containing accented
 characters.

 Previously, when uploading a new avatar or cover image with accented
 characters, the upload would fail.  This is due to an upstream WordPress
 bug since WP does not handle sanitizing these types of file names
 properly.
 (See #WP22363, #WP24661, #WP15955 for just a few of the related problems.)

 To fix this in BuddyPress, we are putting in a workaround to convert file
 names with UTF-8 characters to their ASCII equivalent.  First, we try to
 use PHP's `intl` extension if available.  If not, we use WP's
 `remove_accents()` function, and lastly if the filename still contains
 UTF-8 characters, we also try to use `iconv()` if available.

 This is considered a workaround until WordPress fixes this in core.

 Fixes #7484.
