string-list: allow case-insensitive string list

Some string list needs to be searched case insensitively, and for that to work correctly, the string needs to be sorted case insensitively from the beginning. Allow a custom comparison function to be defined on a string list instance and use it throughout in place of strcmp(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
