src: don't use locale-sensitive strcasecmp()

strcasecmp() is affected by the current locale as configured through
e.g. the LC_ALL environment variable and the setlocale() libc function.

It can result in unpredictable results across systems so replace it with
a function that isn't susceptible to that.
