Using document pathnames with upper case letters as search terms fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Build a model using the Bible corpus. 
2. Search for (e.g.) java pitt.search.semanticvectors.Search -q
docvectors.bin bible_chapters/Matthew/Chapter_3

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
You get a response "Didn't find vector for
bible_chapters/matthew/chapter_3", instead of search results.

The problem is that the code in Search.java lower cases terms as promised
in the solution to issue 4; but the code in DocVectors.java doesn't. This
is a problem - we can't just lower case pathnames because this will cause
file lookups to break on many Unix-style systems.

Added a "-lowercase" flag to command line options for Search.java so that 
search code
can choose not to lower case. (Lower casing all search arguments remains the 
default.)

DocVector builders do not lower case and should not in general.

In case anyone finds this, the flag changed from -lowercase to -matchcase 
(false by default).
