util: teach stringmatcher to handle forced case insensitive matches

The 'author' and 'desc' revsets are documented to be case insensitive.
Unfortunately, this was implemented in 'author' by forcing the input to
lowercase, including for regex like '\B'.  (This actually inverts the meaning of
the sequence.)  For backward compatibility, we will keep that a case insensitive
regex, but by using matcher options instead of brute force.

This doesn't preclude future hypothetical 'icase-literal:' style prefixes that
can be provided by the user.  Such user specified cases can probably be handled
up front by stripping 'icase-', setting the variable, and letting it drop
through the existing code.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
