[Nouveau] [PATCH v3 1/7] lib: string: add functions to case-convert strings

[Markus Mayer]

Add a collection of generic functions to convert strings to lowercase
or uppercase.

Changing the case of a string (with or without copying it first) seems
to be a recurring requirement in the kernel that is currently being
solved by several duplicated implementations doing the same thing. This
change aims at reducing this code duplication.

The new functions are
    void strlcpytoupper(char *dst, const char *src, size_t len);
    void strlcpytolower(char *dst, const char *src, size_t len);
    void strcpytoupper(char *dst, const char *src);
    void strcpytolower(char *dst, const char *src);
    void strtoupper(char *s);
    void strtolower(char *s);

The "str[l]cpyto*" versions of the function take a destination string
and a source string as arguments. The "strlcpyto*" versions additionally
take a length argument like strlcpy() itself. Lastly, the strto*
functions take a single string argument and modify the passed-in string.

Like strlcpy(), and unlike strncpy(), the functions guarantee NULL
termination of the destination string.
