Add a collection of generic functions to convert strings to lowercase or uppercase.
Changing the case of a string (with or without copying it first) seems to be a recurring requirement in the kernel that is currently being solved by several duplicated implementations doing the same thing. This change aims at reducing this code duplication.
The new functions are int strlcpytoupper(char *dst, const char *src, size_t len); int strlcpytolower(char *dst, const char *src, size_t len); void strcpytoupper(char *dst, const char *src); void strcpytolower(char *dst, const char *src); void strtoupper(char *s); void strtolower(char *s);
The "str[l]cpyto*" versions of the function take a destination string and a source string as arguments. The "strlcpyto*" versions additionally take a length argument like strlcpy() itself. Lastly, the strto* functions take a single string argument and modify the passed-in string.
strlcpytoupper() and strlcpytolower() return the number of characters copied or -E2BIG if the destination string was truncated.
Like strlcpy(), and unlike strncpy(), the functions guarantee NULL termination of the destination string.
