Fix broken URLs with special characters from CMS prior to Drupal

The easiest way to find these URLs is to go to the Google Search Coverage for 404s and fix those.

I've got a spreadsheet that tracks the URLs I'm aware of, and marks them out as they're fixed.

It's super helpful when getting a usable URL to use the URL Encoder/Decoder.

With VIP Go, the redirects are so bad because of the lack of regex for end characters, so I don't really know yet what to do about those.

I need to do a dry run on it, but I believe this script would both fix the broken urls, and also create redirects that would work even with the messed up characters. https://gist.github.com/jonathanstegall/f86f25f12292618271c4013e6321d764
