Hopefully, fix most case-sensitivity issues

- DNs are always used in canonical form: lowercase, no spaces. This is
  how they are internally handled and stored in paths and fields such as
  member and memberof
- Attribute names now can have any combination of lower/uppercase and
  stuff should work
- When modifying an attribute with a name that hase a different
  lower/upper combination than the previously stored value, keep the
  previous attribute name
- Trim spaces from values and do not store empty values
