Improve code quality and address static analysis issues

- Fix missing class brace syntax error in Helper.php
- Refactor getNormalizeAccentsFunction into smaller methods for better maintainability
- Add proper SQL escaping and error handling
- Fix keyword normalization in CollectionDataTable to avoid modification inside loop
- Add comprehensive documentation and parameter validation
- Preserve case sensitivity in normalizeAccents mapping
- Add defensive programming checks for empty values

These changes address potential security hotspots and improve code reliability.
