Subject: [PATCH v7 08/13] Casefold lazily in guc_name_compare

We can assume that almost all GUC names are lower case,
so compare each byte with strict equality first. If that
fails retry the comparison with down-casing.

TODO: This concept only been tested inlined into simplehash,
so need to see if this makes any difference on its own.
