Add parameters for converting to uppercase, lowercase or capitalising of text matching function

[RealRaven2000]

Text matching functions such as matchTextFromBody() will be even more useful if they allow conversion of case - these can be supplied with an additional parameter such as:

%matchTextFromBody("Customer.*\n\-+\n(.*)\n",1,capitalize)%
%matchTextFromSubject("Customer.*\n\-+\n(.*)\n",1,uppercase)%
%matchTextFromBody("Customer.*\n\-+\n(.*)\n",1,lowercase)%

%header.prefix.matchFromBody(subject,"Customer.*\n\-+\n(.*)\n",1,capitalize)%

Here is a preview / tryout version:

The formatting parameters (capitalize, uppercase, lowercase, camelcase) can also be combined with the toclipboard parameter:

%matchTextFromBody("Customer.*\n\-+\n(.*)\n",1,capitalize,toclipboard)%

I decided to also add support applying these text transformation to the address variables, as in the following example:

%recipient(firstname,uppercase,lastname,capitalize)%
%from(name,lowercase)%

The switch will format all previous components in the line (but not overwrite earlier transformations of a different switch), so e.g. in the example "1,uppercase,2,3,lowercase" 1 will be in uppercase, 2 and 3 will be in lowercase.
