Description:
------------
php_handle_auth_data treats the Authorization scheme (i.e. "Basic" or "Digest") as case-sensitive, but RFC 2617 section 1.2 describes this token as case-insensitive.

All instances of strncmp in php_handle_auth_data should be replaced with strnicmp.

While RFC 2617 is obsoleted, RFC 7617 explicitly mentions that
"both scheme and parameter names are matched
case-insensitively"[1].  RFC 7616[2] doesn't explicitly specificy
this, but Appendix A descibes the changes from RFC 2617, and
doesn't mention case-(in)sensitivity, so we can assume that
"Digest" also has to be treated case-insensitive.
