A user can now specify UUID strings with dashes, instead of having to remove dashes. This is backwards-compatibility preserving and also fixes a source of user confusion over the inconsistency with how UUIDs are specified between file system UUIDs and cryptomount UUIDs. Since cryptsetup, the reference implementation for LUKS, displays and generates UUIDs with dashes there has been additional confusion when using the UUID strings from cryptsetup as exact input into GRUB does not find the expected cryptodisk. A new function grub_uuidcasecmp() is added that is general enough to be used other places where UUIDs are being compared.
