Add functions to convert a CString to upper- / lowercase, either
in-place or by creating a copy of the original CString.

Naming followes the one from the Rust stdlib, where functions starting
with 'to' create a copy and functions starting with 'make' perform an
in-place conversion.

This is required by the Nova project (GSP only Rust successor of
Nouveau) to convert stringified enum values (representing different GPU
chipsets) to strings in order to generate the corresponding firmware
paths. See also [1].

Not a deal-breaker, but this comment of mine still applies:
