Eeschema: remove the compil option KICAD_KEEPCASE. Eeschema is now always case sensitive when seraching components in libs.

However to be compatible with old versions of Eeschema, when a search in library fails, a case insensitive search is made.
Therefore, this version should be compatible with sch files created by previous Eeschema versions compiled with KICAD_KEEPCASE = OFF
