Fixed try_files with alias on case-insensitive systems.

Previously, checking that try_files with variables matches an aliased
location was done using ngx_strncmp() rather than ngx_filename_cmp().
This works correctly in configurations with $uri, such as:

    location /prefix/ {
        alias /foo/;
        try_files $uri =404;
    }

But this can produce unexpected results on systems with case-insensitive
filesystems, such as Windows and macOS, when configuration-provided
variables are used to construct file names, such as the following
configuration, and assuming a request using different case, such as
"GET /Prefix/":

    location /prefix/ {
        alias /foo/;
        set $maintenance "/prefix/maintenance.html";
        try_files $maintenance $uri =404;
    }

The fix is to use ngx_filename_cmp(), which properly ignores case on
relevant systems.
