Fix documentation of 'assoc-string' and 'compare-strings'
* src/minibuf.c (Fassoc_string): Clarify how CASE-FOLD affects the
string comparison. (Bug#23833)
* src/fns.c (Fcompare_strings): Fix the description of how
IGNORE-CASE affects the comparison.
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (Text Comparison): Clarify how
CASE-FOLD affects the string comparison in 'assoc-string'. Fix
the description of how IGNORE-CASE affects the comparison in
'compare-strings'.

The strings are compared by the numeric values of their characters. For instance, STR1 is "less than" STR2 if its first differing character has a smaller numeric value. If IGNORE-CASE is non-nil, -characters are converted to lower-case before comparing them. Unibyte +characters are converted to upper-case before comparing them. Unibyte strings are converted to multibyte for comparison.
