TL;DR

Support using IDN domains when joining a multiplayer server.

What ?

Now, with support of SRV records, it would be great if it was also possible to use an IDN domain without having to type it out in punycode.
In my case I'm hosting a server on my domain, brånn.se, but it's not possible to join unless the domain is entered in punycode, xn--brnn-roa.se

Why ?

Having users to deal with punycode to be able to connect to a server is not a great experience, and it's a proposed standard so it would be great for Factorio to support it.
