The http_auth_bearer sample fetch can take a header name as parameter,
in which case it will try to extract a Bearer value out of the given
header name instead of the default "Authorization" one. In this case,
the extraction would not have worked because of a misuse of strncasecmp.
This patch fixes this by replacing the standard string functions by ist
ones.
It also properly manages the multiple spaces that could be found between
the scheme and its value.
No backport needed, that's part of JWT which is only in 2.5.

In order for all the error return values to be distributed on the same
side (instead of surrounding the success error code), the return values
for errors other than a simple verification failure are switched to
negative values. This way the result of the jwt_verify converter can be
compared strictly to 1 as well relative to 0 (any <= 0 return value is
an error).
The documentation was also modified to discourage conversion of the
return value into a boolean (which would definitely not work).
Tim reported that a decoding error from the base64 function wouldn't
be matched in case of bad input, and could possibly cause trouble
with -1 being passed in decoded_sig->data. In the case of HMAC+SHA
it is harmless as the comparison is made using memcmp() after checking
for length equality, but in the case of RSA/ECDSA this result is passed
as a size_t to EVP_DigetVerifyFinal() and may depend on the lib's mood.
The fix simply consists in checking the intermediary result before
storing it.
That's precisely what happens with one of the regtests which returned
0 instead of 4 on the intentionally defective token, so the regtest
was fixed as well.
No backport is needed as this is new in this release.
