[ADQL] Add to the parser a function attempting to quickly fix an ADQL query.
This new function - ADQLParser.tryQuickFix(...) - fixes the most common issues with ADQL queries: - replace Unicode confusable characters by their ASCII/UTF-8 version, - double-quote SQL reserved words/terms (e.g. `public`, `year`, `date`), - double-quote ADQL function names used a column name/alias (e.g. `distance`, `min`, `avg`), - double-quote invalid regular identifiers (e.g. `_RAJ2000`, `2mass`). The last point is far from being perfect but should work at least for identifiers starting with a digit or an underscore, or an identifier including one of the following character: `?`, `!`, `$`, `@`, `#`, `{`, `}`, `[`, `]`, `~`, `^` and '`'. It should also been noted that double-quoting a column/table name will make it case-sensitive. Then, it is possible that the query does not pass even after the double-quote operation ; the case would have to be checked by the user. Finally, there is no attempt to fix column and table names (i.e. case sensitivity and/or typos) using tables/columns list/metadata. That could be a possible evolution of this function or an additional feature to implement in the parser.
