[#1903] Forbidden username case

[#1903] Forbidden username case was created by KatoKalin
I just have realised that forbidden usernames are case sensitive. So if you deny "moderator" in the backend, the user still can create an account as "MODERATOR". There seem to be some weird combinations possible. Some of them allow registration, some not:

These would work:
Moderator
mOderator
moDerator
ModeratoR
ModerAtoR

THis would not work:
modErator
modeRator
moderAtor
moderaTor
moderaTOR

Just to name a few. I would say this is a bug. A forbidden username schould be not case sensitive at all, meaning that any combination of case and non case letters in that word would not be allowed.
A user would not really be able to tell if moderator or MODERATOR or moderAtoR would be a legit moderator. Therfor this should be changed.
moderatOr
moderatoR

Have reviewed the source and forbidden strings are indeed case sensitive. Have posted an issue ticket to be further investigated. Sorry for the inconvenience.
