partial string.lower() in Address Matching

Bug Description

FindMatchingAddresses of Utils.py (mailman 2.0.13)
compares the given 'name' variable to the given
dictionary, for example privacy/forbidden_posters. In this
comparison, 'name' is converted to lower case (both if
SMART_ADDRESS_MATCH is true or false).
Unfortunately this dictionary that is being compared to is
not converted to lower case. As a result, addresses that
should be matched aren't.
Additionally, the configuration web-interface doesn't
encourage the list owner to only use lowercase.
