Index notation for tensors should allow for unicode characters

[Eric Gourgoulhon]

In Sage 9.0, we have:

sage: E.<x,y> = EuclideanSpace()
sage: t = E.tensor_field(1, 1, [[x, 1], [0, y]])
sage: t['^μ_μ']
...
ValueError: index conventions not satisfied

Now, after the Python 3 switch, any unicode non-digit word-constituent character should be accepted, see ​this discussion. This is especially pertinent for tensor indices, since Greek letters are often used to denote them.

Thanks for the fix.
