Pull request description:

  This pull request removes the `boost/algorithm/string/case_conv.hpp` dependency from the project.

  `boost/algorithm/string/case_conv.hpp` is included for the `boost::to_lower` and `boost::to_upper` template functions.

  We can replace the calls to these functions with straightforward alternative implementations that use the C++ Standard Library, because the functions are called with `std::string` objects that use standard 7-bit ASCII characters as argument.

  The refactored implementation should work without the explicit `static_cast<unsigned char>` cast and `unsigned char` lambda return type. Both have been added defensively and to be explicit. Especially in case of the former, behaviour is undefined (potentially result in a crash) if the `std::toupper` argument is not an `unsigned char`.

  A potential alternative, maybe even preferred, implementation to address the `boost::to_lower` function call in `ParseNetwork(std::string)` could have been:

  ```c++
  if (net == "ipv4" || net == "IPv4") return NET_IPV4;
  if (net == "ipv6" || net == "IPv6") return NET_IPV6;
  ```
  This alternative implementation would however change the external behaviour of `ParseNetwork(std::string)`.

  This pull requests includes a unit test to validate the implementation of `ParseNetwork(std::string)`  prior and after the removal of the `case_conv.hpp` dependency.

  `boost/algorithm/string/case_conv.hpp` has been removed from the `EXPECTED_BOOST_INCLUDES` in `test/lint/lint-includes.sh` because it is no longer required.
