LANG-1171 Add null safe compare methods in StringUtils :
Add null safe methods in `StringUtils` to compare 2 Strings :
```java
public static int compare(final String str1, final String str2);
public static int compare(final String str1, final String str2, final
boolean nullIsLess);
public static int compareIgnoreCase(final String str1, final String str2);
public static int compareIgnoreCase(final String str1, final String str2,
final boolean nullIsLess);
```
Those methods are null safe equivalent to :
```java
str1.compareTo(str2);
str1.compareToIgnoreCase(str2);
```
