bug#46408: 28.0.50; ERC highlights nick even when case don't match

[Emanuel Berg via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

ERC highlights nick even when case don't match.

E.g., my nick is incal, then someone says

<someone> There is one Incal I didn't read, the "Final Incal":
          https://jodoverse.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Incal

Should it be case-sensitive, you think?

Most things in irc aren't case-sensitive, so I think erc does this
correctly now.  Closing.
