Asymmetric behavior for case-insensitive matches #198

Description

@raipc

Case-insensitive matching with Unicode category \p{Ll} (lowercase letters) does not include uppercase equivalents.

// (?i)\p{Lu} correctly matches both cases:
RE2.compile("(?i)\\p{Lu}").matches("A")  // true
RE2.compile("(?i)\\p{Lu}").matches("a")  // true
// (?i)\p{Ll} only matches lowercase — the (?i) flag has no effect:
RE2.compile("(?i)\\p{Ll}").matches("a")  // true
RE2.compile("(?i)\\p{Ll}").matches("A")  // false — expected true

The same applies to \p{Lt} (titlecase) which is missing uppercase equivalents. Affects all scripts (Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Armenian, etc.).
