This PR suggests we can speed up `StringLatin1.regionMatchesCI` by applying 'the oldest ASCII trick in the book'.
The new static method `CharacterDataLatin1.equalsIgnoreCase` compares two latin1 bytes for equality ignoring case. `StringLatin1.regionMatchesCI` is updated to use `equalsIgnoreCase`
To verify the correctness of `equalsIgnoreCase`, a new test is added to `EqualsIgnoreCase` with an exhaustive verification that all 256x256 latin1 code point pairs have an `equalsIgnoreCase` consistent with Character.toUpperCase, Character.toLowerCase.
Performance is tested for matching and mismatching cases of code point pairs picked from the ASCII letter, ASCII number and latin1 letter ranges. Results in the first comment below.

- Exhaustive verification needs to cover the case b1 == b2
