Use IAU star name spelling as primary names in default (Western) skyculture (e.g. Schedar is misspelled)

Originally posted by onlinebacon July 23, 2022 I'm doing some celestial navigation software and was using the help of the nautical almanac and stellarium to get star information. And couldn't find Schedar on stellarium, then I figured it was being spelled without the "c". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Cassiopeiae

Check all IAU lists and use their spelling as first name. Keep alternative spellings where common.
