Allow multi-character source strings in contrib/unaccent.
This could be useful in languages where diacritic signs are represented as
separate characters; more generally it supports using unaccent dictionaries
for substring substitutions beyond narrowly conceived "diacritic removal".
In any case, since the rule-file parser doesn't complain about
multi-character source strings, it behooves us to do something unsurprising
with them.
