<i18n dev> RFR: 8302871: Speed up StringLatin1.regionMatchesCI [v2]

[Eirik Bjorsnos]

> 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.
