Remove pipeline.* from lib/README

It's been a separate library since 2010.

Inline lower into name_to_key

With only one remaining user, it wasn't pulling its weight.

* libdb/db_lookup.c (name_to_key): Inline the implementation of lower.
* lib/Makefile.am (libman_la_SOURCES): Remove lower.c and lower.h.
* lib/README: Remove lower.*.
* lib/lower.c, lib/lower.h: Remove.

Simplify case-insensitivity in word_fnmatch

Using FNM_CASEFOLD saves us from having to lower-case the pattern
manually, and it also fixes the behaviour of "apropos -w" when given a
non-lower-case pattern.

* lib/wordfnmatch.c (word_fnmatch): Use isalpha and FNM_CASEFOLD rather
than manually lower-casing string or expecting pattern to have already
been lower-cased.
* NEWS: Document this.

Simplify case-insensitive comparisons in whatis

We can just use strcasecmp and similar functions rather than
lower-casing comparands manually.

In some corner cases this may result in matches that would not
previously have been returned (e.g. "whatis -w" with a non-lower-case
pattern).

* src/whatis.c (parse_name): Use strcasecmp and FNM_CASEFOLD rather than
manually lower-casing dbname or expecting pages to have already been
lower-cased.
(match): Use strcasestr and isalpha rather than manually lower-casing
whatis or expecting page to have already been lower-cased.
(parse_whatis): Remove lowpages parameter; pass pages directly to match
instead.
(do_apropos): Remove lowpages; parse_name and parse_whatis no longer
need it.

Import Gnulib's strcase module

We're already using strcasecmp and strncasecmp.

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add strcase.

1878. By Colin Watson on 2019-02-04

Add missing #include

* src/straycats.c: Include <stdbool.h>.
