[SSSD] [PATCHES] Handle case-sensitivity issues

Patch 0001: Make the sysdb user and group names case-sensitive
POSIX requires that usernames be case-sensitive. This will make the
sysdb and cache compliant.

Patch 0002: Add force_lowercase_names option for domains

Since POSIX usernames must be case-sensitive, but remote servers do not,
it is possible for entries on the server to have different
capitalization in different uses. For those systems where this is the
case, SSSD will now offer an option to force all user and group names to
lowercase, which should eliminate inconsistencies.

p.s. Don't be frightened by the size of Patch 0002. Most of the patch
consists of new tests for this functionality.
