ltree: fix case-insensitive matching.

Previously, ltree_prefix_eq_ci() used lowercasing with the default
collation; while ltree_crc32_sz() used tolower() directly. These were
equivalent only if the default collation provider was libc and the
encoding was single-byte.

Change both to use casefolding with the default collation.

Backpatch through 18, where the casefolding APIs were introduced. The
bug exists in earlier versions, but would require some adaptation.

A REINDEX is required for ltree indexes where the database default
collation is not libc.
