Description:        unaccent() function should be marked IMMUTABLE
Details:

The unaccent(text) function supplied by contrib/unaccent is marked VOLATILE.
This prevents it from being used in indexes. We believe that the function
meets the requirements to be marked IMMUTABLE.

=# CREATE TABLE foo ();
CREATE TABLE
=# CREATE INDEX bar ON foo ( unaccent('baz') );
ERROR:  functions in index expression must be marked IMMUTABLE
=# ALTER FUNCTION unaccent(text) IMMUTABLE;
ALTER FUNCTION
=# CREATE INDEX bar ON foo ( unaccent('baz') );
CREATE INDEX
