Add upper/lowercase flag to make collation rules smaller

Currently, the rules used to build collators must include
entries for both upper- and lower-case characters. The rule
tables would be smaller and faster if we were to automatically generate
the upper-case rules from the lower-case ones, or vice-versa.

To do so, we would need a new rule that lets you specify
whether upper-case characters come before or after lower-case
ones.

This is performance work that Taligent plan to work on eventually.
