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.
