This needs to be configurable. Making usernames case insensitive will raise a similar bug for Security Realms which are case sensitive.

e.g. Unix login names are case sensitive (convention is to only use all lowercase, but they are actually case sensitive)

e.g. Email addresses are permitted to be case sensitive (nobody really treats them as case sensitive but according to the RFC everything before the @ must be treated as case preserving as it may be case sensitive and only the receiving mailbox will have the correct knowledge)

Worse still is that Jenkins sees Users who's ID differs only in case as being the same User object under some code paths and different User objects under other code paths.
