Allowing Profile Labels to use more characters in the extended ASCII range. #1663

Description

@bosch137

Problem

Profile Labels are currently limited to only Letters, Numbers, and Spaces on the Web Gui. It seems like this limitation is overly strict and could be changed to allow more characters. This currently prevents users from adding basic special characters to a label.

Changing this would let you create unique and silly titles like: DR+DI SLOP!!, Tekken (-_-), GG+R.AcCore#XRD

Solution

Increase the range of allowed characters to include ranges like Dec 33-47, 58-64, 91-96, and 123-126 (Potentially 128-254 as well) I used this for reference: https://www.asciitable.com

I did have a discussion about this in the discord server, just to make sure there is no actual technical limitation that prevents this from being possible, and it sounded like there wasn't.

Do you plan to work on this feature yourself?

If no one else wants to change it, I might? It is probably easiest for someone else to do it who has contributed before since I would have a lot of extra work to do to add such a seemingly small change.
