[PATCH] Don't ucase configured realm

[Benjamin Coddington]

In the Samba4 case, is this because it is already broken out into 
szRealm_upper and szRealm_lower, where szRealm_lower is used as 
lp_dnsdomain?  Could not the "respect case" case only modify 
szRealm_upper?  What is the difficult part for Samba 4?
