Add a function called strtolower() to convert strings to lower case
in-place, overwriting the original string.
This seems to be a recurring requirement in the kernel that is
currently being solved by several duplicated implementations doing the
same thing.

ctions take a single string argument and modify the passed-in
string.
All functions return a pointer to the terminating '\0' character in the
modified string ("dst" or "s", respectively).

Samuel, I left off your ACK, since the implementation of my function changed
somewhat (no check for NULL, return value is different). Please let me know

Samuel, I left off your ACK, since the implementation of my function
