Use safe-ctype.h (ISSPACE etc.) in symbol parsing & comparison
This patch avoids depending on the current locale when parsing &
comparing symbol names, by using libiberty's safe-ctype.h uppercase
TOLOWER, ISXDIGIT, etc. macros instead of the standard ctype.h
tolower, isxdigit, etc. macros/functions.

Support UTF-8 identifiers in C/C++ expressions (PR gdb/22973)
did something similar, except in the expression parser.
This can improve GDB's symbol loading performance significantly.
Currently strcmp_iw_ordered can show up high on profiles (called from
sort_pst_symbols -> std::sort) because of the isspace and tolower
functions. Hannes mentions seeing it as high as in ~24% of the
profiling samples on Windows
(https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-May/168858.html).
I tested GDB's performance (built with "-g -O2") loading a "-g -O0"
build of gdb.
I ran GDB 10 times like:
/bin/time -f %e \
./gdb/gdb --data-directory ./gdb/data-directory -nx \
-batch /tmp/gdb-g-O0
Then I computed the mean time.
The baseline mean time was
gdb 2.515
This patch brings the number down to
gdb 2.096
Which is an around 16% improvement.
