Patrick Buckley 19b1a04f17 fix(redaction): match connection-string schemes case-insensitively
RFC 3986 schemes are case-insensitive, so POSTGRESQL+PSYCOPG2:// or
HTTPS://user:pass@host in tool output leaked the password past the
case-sensitive scheme alternation. Compile with IGNORECASE on both
sides of the FE/backend mirror; the structural userinfo requirement
is unchanged. Uppercase-scheme cases added to both test suites.
