spec_helper: Restore case-insensitive matching in find_spdx

The previous case-insensitive matching was removed in e5f46faa (test
required spdx-ids against data from spdx, 2016-05-25, #418).  That
commit was designed [1] to allow case-sensitive matching as discussed
in [2].  But while I'm in favor of case-sensitive keys in spdx_list,
the case-sensitive match breaks script/check-approval which downcases
its argument since it was added in 8e56bb83 (add
script/check-approval, 2016-01-18, #318).

There are more notes on SPDX's plans for case sensitivity in [3], so
we should see a clearer policy there soon.  I'm arguing for
case-sensitive *display* with optional case-insensitive matching.  I
am optimistic that the SPDX will at least agree not to register short
IDs that only differ by case, which is all we need to make this
case-insensitive match safe here.
