Since there are already three of these variations in core, I think that
shows that this would be a handy function to have.

I've used `cl-equalp' for this in the past, but having a `string-'
prefixed function might make sense.  And in that case, what about
calling it `string-equalp'?  But perhaps too obscure for people coming
from an non-CL background, so `string-equal-ignore-case' is fine by me.
