[RFC] pascal: Add lowercase copy of symbol name

["Pierre Muller" <pierre.muller@ics-cnrs.unistra.fr>]

  Pascal language is supposed to be 
case insensitive, but until now it is 
not true inside GDB.
  There are several reasons, but some 
would like to get better support for this
feature.
  Here is a step in that direction:
  adding a new pascal_specific field for 
general_symbol_info structure,
  fill it with a lowercase copy of the symbol name
and use that lowercase copy for searches
if case_sensitivityy is off.

  
  I did not yet really decide 
exactly how I am going to use this inside that pascal
expression parser.
  One idea would be to first try an exact match,
and if that fails, try again forcing case_sensitivity to off
temporarily.

Comments?

	* symtab.h (general_symbol_info): Add pascal_specific field with
	lowercase_name subfield.
	* symtab.c (symbol_init_language_specific): Initialize
	pascal_specific.lowercase_name to NULL.
	(symbol_set_names): Construct lowercase_name string.
	(symbol_search_name): Return LOWERCASE_NAME for pascal language
	if CASE_SENSITIVITY is off.
