Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/probberechts/soccerdata/issues/672

In the Uniform team names section at the Getting Started page, it is said to use team_dict.json to remap team names globally, but the library asks for a file named teamname_replacements.json when instantiating a scraper class.

Soccerdata ver.: 1.8.1
