Restore the simple loop in fastfloat_strncasecmp

PR #356 replaced the 3/5-character case-insensitive compare used by
parse_infnan with SWAR helpers (fastfloat_strncasecmp3/5 plus a generic
memcpy-based fastfloat_strncasecmp). That code only runs for "nan",
"inf" and "infinity" inputs, so it cannot help ordinary parsing, but it
grew the inlined inf/nan tail of the parser: on x86-64 (GCC 14 and
clang 21) the per-commit benchmarks dropped by 1.5-2.5% because the
extra dead code changed inlining decisions and register allocation on
the hot path (+7 instructions/float on canada.txt).

Go back to the plain loop, which the compiler unrolls for the constant
lengths 3 and 5, and drop the now-unused generic SWAR function. The
`actual < 256` guard of the original is unnecessary: OR-ing 0x20 into
a value can only equal an ASCII lowercase letter when the value is that
letter or its uppercase form, so the plain OR is exact for every
character type.
