Subject: [PATCH] i18n: Blind fix attempt for std::bad_cast being thrown on
 Windows

Several reports on Steam and our forums point at std::bad_cast being
thrown when accessing Preferences and the Multiplayer menu amongst
others. It's possible that the locale configuration on those systems is
not quite right, and compare() and icompare() are able to throw
std::bad_cast when this happens as they both use std::use_facet().

Note that much like the macOS/iOS version of icompare(), this stopgap
patch doesn't attempt to provide any form of case-insensitive fallback
and just uses a case-sensitive comparison instead.
