Do we want Bugzilla to be case-sensitive or case-insensitive?

With the support of PostgreSQL, several bugs have been reported about
the fact that PostgreSQL and MySQL behave differently when querying the
DB, simply because PostgreSQL is case-sensitive by default and because
MySQL is case-insensitive by default.
This way, you can create the 'Bugzilla' and 'bugzilla' products on your
installation running PostgreSQL, but MySQL will complain that this
product already exists when trying to add the second one. This problem
appears everywhere, from components to keywords.
So we have to make a crucial decision now:
Do we want Bugzilla to be case-sensitive or case-insensitive?
This decision will have strong implications in the future development of
the Bugzilla code.
