Overview
Comment:Update the NOCASE documentation to make it clear that it uses sqlite3_strnicmp() for comparison and thus stops at the first embedded zero character in the string.

<li>^(<b>BINARY</b> - Compares string data using memcmp(), regardless

<li>^(<b>NOCASE</b> - The same as binary, except the 26 upper case

     characters of ASCII are folded to their lower case equivalents before
     the comparison is performed.)^  Note that only ASCII characters
     are case folded.  SQLite does not attempt to do full
     UTF case folding due to the size of the tables required.</li>



<li>^(<b>RTRIM</b> - The same as binary, except that trailing space
     characters are ignored.)^</li>

<li>^(<b>BINARY</b> - Compares string data using memcmp(), regardless
                   of text encoding.</li>)^
<li>^(<b>NOCASE</b> - Similar to binary, except that it uses
     [sqlite3_strnicmp()] for the comparison.  Hence the 26 upper case

     are case folded.  SQLite does not attempt to do full
     UTF case folding due to the size of the tables required.
     Also note that any U+0000 characters in the string are considered
     string terminators for comparison purposes.
