[PATCH 07/15] nls: Add new interface for string comparisons

[Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@collabora.co.uk>]

The existing stricmp() interface is limited by not accepting separated
length parameters for each string being compared.  This is a problem for
charsets doing normalization or full casefold comparison, since
different sized strings can still be matched.  To resolve this problem,
this patch implements a new interface, allowing charsets to do the
comparison, if needed.

The original stricmp is left in the code, while all callers are not
converted, but was rewritten the new interface.
