keysym: fix locale dependence in xkb_keysym_from_name()

We currently use strcasecmp, which is locale-dependent. In particular,
one well-known surprise even if restricted just ASCII input is found in
the tr_TR (Turkish) locale, see e.g.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973919.aspx#stringsinnet20_topic5

We have known to avoid locale-dependent functions before, but in this
case, we forgot.

Fix it by implementing our own simple ASCII-only strcasecmp/strncasecmp.
Might have been possible to use strcasecmp_l() with the C locale, but
went the easy route.

Side advantage is that even this non-optimized version is faster than
the optimized libc one (__strcasecmp_l_sse42) since it doesn't need to
do the locale stuff. xkb_keysym_from_name(), which uses strcasecmp
heavily, becomes faster, and so for example Compose file parsing, which
uses xkb_keysym_from_name() heavily, becomes ~20% faster.

Resolves #42
