Description

This PR adds support for Unicode domain names in the frontend interface while maintaining backend compatibility with Punycode.

✅ Changes Made:

Accepts Unicode domain names (e.g., café.com, 点看.com) in the domain input field.
Automatically converts Unicode domains to Punycode before sending them to the backend using the built-in punycode module.
Converts domains fetched from the backend (in Punycode) to Unicode for display in the UI.
Improves user experience by allowing users to input and view domain names in their original, recognizable format.

How to test?

Add a new domain with Unicode characters (e.g., café.com, 点看.com, straße.de) via the domain input form.
- The domain should be accepted without any error.
- The form should auto-convert the domain to Punycode in the background before submission.
Check the domain listing after adding.
- The newly added domain should appear in the list in Unicode form (e.g., café.com), even though it’s stored as Punycode.

Fixes: #1162
