Case insensitive labels

Created by: renestalder

As funny it sounds, but a major problem we have is, that labels are case sensitive. Means, if my reporters and guests make labels with "bug", and other users make labels with "Bug", they are handled as two different labels instead of one. Since we're still not able to delete labels in front-end, this causes a huge chaos in our issue tracker. There could be bugs listed under "Bug" and bugs listed under "bug", a developer would not even mind because he may only check one label for new issues.

My suggestion therefore is to make labels case insensitive. If "bug" already exists and a user creates an issue with the label "Bug", the already created label should be used instead.
