When HTTP/2 is in use, we fail to correctly redact "Authorization" (and
other) headers in our GIT_TRACE_CURL output.

We get the headers in our CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION callback, curl_trace().
It passes them along to curl_dump_header(), which in turn checks
redact_sensitive_header(). We see the headers as a text buffer like:

  Host: ...
  Authorization: Basic ...

After breaking it into lines, we match each header using skip_prefix().
This is case-insensitive, even though HTTP headers are case-insensitive.
This has worked reliably in the past because these headers are generated
by curl itself, which is predictable in what it sends.

Did you mean "This is case-sensitive..."?

Whoops, yes. It probably makes a lot more sense with that fix. :)
