[GRASS-dev] G_find_key_value() case sensitive

some files use upper-case for keys

cat ~/grassdata/nc_spm_08/pg/VAR
DB_DRIVER: sqlite
DB_DATABASE: $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/sqlite.db

some lower-case

cat ~/grassdata/nc_spm_08/pg/GDAL
directory: /home/martin/smetiste/
format: GTiff

it would be probably better to consolidate naming convention to
upper-case. Then e.g. `r.external.out` would write GDAL file with
upper-case keys, in this case

DIRECTORY: /home/martin/smetiste/
FORMAT: GTiff

Case insensitive G_find_key_value() would enable eg. to read GDAL
files created before this change (lower -> upper).
