Title:
  vnc websocket compatibility issue

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  WebSocket support in VNC should allow access from VNC client through
  upgraded WebSocket connection. This feature is not working in IE
  11/Edge with noVNC HTML5 client, in contrast to that in
  Firefox/Safari, etc.

  The reason that IE 11/Edge fails to accept the connection upgrade is
  that the value equality of the `Upgrade` header field is checked in a
  strict case-sensitive manner in QEMU side, however, the IE/Edge does
  not send the exactly same string value `websocket` but a capital
  letter `W` instead.

  Defined in section 4.2.1 of rfc6455, the upgrade header field shall be
  treated case-insensitively.

  A patch shall be made in `io/channel-websock.c`, converting the value
  of upgrade string to lowercase before comparison is made with
  QIO_CHANNEL_WEBSOCK_UPGRADE_WEBSOCKET, to allow case-insensitive
  comparison in the process.
