[PATCH] lib: string: remove duplicated function

[Denis Orlov]

We have two functions that are doing the same thing: 'strncasecmp' and
'strnicmp'. The only difference between them is that the latter is
correctly handling the len argument of 0. So rename it into the former
one ('strncasecmp', as it is the POSIX name for this function), deleting
the other implementation. As no one is actually using 'strnicmp', no
other code requires any fixes.

This change is effectively forwarded from the Linux commits
'lib/string.c: remove duplicated function'
(hash cd514e727b18ff4d189b8e268db13729a4175091) and
'lib/string.c: remove strnicmp()'
(hash af3cd13501eb04ca61d017ff4406f1cbffafdc04).
