    fix: torrc validation case sensetive
    
    The torrc validation is case sensetive using tor's camelcase convention, but
    tor's torrc parsing is case insensetive. This caused confusing torrc warnings
    where, for instance, "Exitpolicy" would be reported as both being unused and
    also missing an "ExitPolicy" option. Reported in...
    https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4601
    
    This fix is functional but less than ideal since it makes the case
    insensetivity non-obvious (we're essentially converting the torrc arguments
    into the camelcase options we expect). I'll look into doing something nicer
    while refactoring for stem.
