[codec] Soudex issue with accented character.

http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29080

Currently, "ö" or "é" in a String causes Soundex to throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

We can either:

(1) Throw a better Exception, like IllegalArgumentException: Only 'plain' letter are allowed.

Or:

(2) Ignore unmapped characters. This would work for "ö" and "é" since vowels are ignored but this could cause bad encoding values for other chars like "ç".

AFAIK, you cannot ask if a character is a vowel or not.

Thoughts?

Gary
