It started with #205, and the fact that the 'unicode' conversion in
mask_match is by null-padding, not by actual use of iconv().

Given the problem on expanding/contracting strings and strlower_m(), I
looked at how far down I could push the problem - and realised that we
could just do the case-sensitive part in the fnmatch code itself,
without ever lowercasing the entire string.

It also allowed me to say 'invalid strings don't match', rather than the
smb_panic() in unix_strlower().

BTW, why does the comparison occur in lowercase?  For 'weird' languages
we should determine exactly which case the case-insensitve stuff
actually occurs in.
