Make Editor annotations work in lower case

[kr-g]

Problem Description

editor code annotations (available via preferences > editor > advanced settings) only display a marker to the left of line number when case matches.

What steps reproduce the problem?

1. go to preferences > editor > advanced settings check annotations box, apply and close dialog
2. go to source editor and create a line "# TODO" and wait a second until a check marker appear left to line number
3. change the line to "# todo"and wait for a second, the marker will disappear

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

the marker should not disappear, the application logic should be changed to be case insensitive

Hi @kr-g thank you for the feedback! I think @todo should trigger a marker too, kind of like a workaround but is that an option for you? Or maybe in general you would like for all the annotations that trigger a mark to be case insentive? So instead of the mark being triggered by only TODO, FIXME, XXX, HINT, TIP, @todo, HACK, BUG, OPTIMIZE, !!!, and ??? to be also triggered by todo, fixme, xxx, hint, tip, @TODO, hack, bug and optimize?

What do you think @spyder-ide/core-developers ?
