Add accent insensitive query mode

Problem

Currently there is a possibility to search a database case insensitive with QueryMode.insensitive. I would like to additionally search the database accent insensitive.

Suggested solution

Extend the QueryMode.insensitive to be also accent insensitive or add the QueryMode.accentInsensitive with the possibility to combine the mode with QueryMode.insensitive (it would probably be good to rename QueryMode.insensitive to QueryMode.caseInsensitive)

Thanks for your answer! So far I haven’t implemented anything, but I will probably follow this Stack Overflow answer and use the extension unaccent to solve it. I hope that this extension can be installed directly in Postgres and then used with the Prisma client via $queryRaw.

Of course, the approach does not work for the other databases and the first search result, e.g. for MySQL is not promising.

@friebetill If you’ve had any success with installing the module and using the function in a $rawQuery (and still have access to it, because it’s been a while since you posted), please share here because I’m racking my brains to find out how to implement this 😃
