Support characters æ, ø and å

Description

Notification messages doesn't support the Danish/Skandinavien characters æ, ø and å. A word like påvirket (affected) would be spelled pvirket in the notification message. The letter å is omitted instead of displayed.

If you happen to use GadgetBridge as your companion app, there is a transliteration setting for many languages including the three letters above :) So it will transliterate the notification before passing it to the PineTime.

The transliteration file is here.

The letters you ask about are transliterated as follows:

// Scandinavian characters
put('Æ',"Ae"); put('æ',"ae");
put('Ø',"Oe"); put('ø',"oe");
put('Å',"Aa"); put('å',"aa");

You can enable it by going to GadgetBridge, click on the settings wheel that is under your connected PineTime (not the GadgetBridge settings), then click on transliteration settings.

I use this feature for arabic and find it a good solution.
