cbfs-compression-tool: Fix minor edge cases in algorithm type parsing

This patch adds two minor improvements to the way cbfs-compression-tool
parses the compression algorithm type that is passed through the -t
option of the 'compress' subcommand. These improvements are intended
to prevent accidents and unexpected behavior when using the
cbfs-compression-tool, in particular in automated contexts such as a
Makefile rule.

In the first part of this patch, a return statement is inserted after
the 'if (algo->name == NULL)' check of the compress() function. This
causes the function to exit immediately and subsequently abort the
program when the algorithm type was not detected correctly. Previously,
execution would continue with the 'algo' pointer pointing to the zeroed
out stopper entry of the types_cbfs_compression[] array. The ultimate
effect of this would be to pass 0 as 'algo->type' to the
compression_function() function, which happens to be the same
enumeration value as is used for CBFS_COMPRESS_NONE, leading to a valid
compression function result that matches the behavior of no compression.
Thus, if a script calling cbfs-compression-tool compress contained a
typo in the -t parameter, it would continue running with an unintended
compression result rather than immediately exiting cleanly.

In the second part of this patch, the strcmp() function is replaced with
strcasecmp() when comparing 'algo->name' with the 'algoname' parameter
that was passed to the compress() function. strcasecmp() uses an
identical function signature as strcmp() and is thus suitable as a
drop-in replacement, but it differs in behavior: rather than only
returning a result of 0 when the two NULL-terminated input strings are
character by character identical, the strcasecmp() function applies a
weaker concept of identity where characters of the latin alphabet
(hexadecimal ranges 0x41 through 0x5a and 0x61 through 0x7a) are also
considered identical to other characters that differ from them only in
their case. This causes the -t parameter of cbfs-compression-tool
compress to also accept lowercase spellings of the available compression
algorithms, such as "lz4" instead of "LZ4" and "lzma" instead of "LZMA".
As an unintended but harmless side-effect, mixed-case spellings such as
"lZ4" or "LZmA" will also be recognized as valid compression algorithms.
(Note that since the character "4" (hexadecimal 0x34) of the "LZ4"
compression type name is not part of the above-mentioned ranges of latin
alphabet characters, no new substitutions become valid for that part of
the "LZ4" string with this patch.)
