boot: Drop use of MetaiMatch
A future commit will add support for unicode collation protocol that allows case folding and comparing strings with locale awareness. But it only operates on whole strings, so fnmatch cannot use those without a heavy cost. Instead we just case fold the patterns instead (the IDs we try to match are already lower case).
