[JENKINS-28393] Allow case insensitive matching on companyName/repoName in GH plugin

[jenkins-infra-bot]

The github jenkins documentation at https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+Plugin says:

```
When creating a job, specify that is connects to git. Under "Github project", put in: git@​github.com:Person/Project.git Under "Source Code Management" select Git, and put in git@​github.com:Person/Project.git
```

When we try git@​github.com:/.git it does not work. However, https://github.com// works for us.

This causes a problem with push notifications, though. I get the following messages in the logs:

```
May 13, 2015 4:05:26 PM FINE com.cloudbees.jenkins.GitHubWebHook
Considering to poke webserver_test_master
May 13, 2015 4:05:26 PM FINE com.cloudbees.jenkins.GitHubWebHook
Skipped webserver_test_master because it doesn't have a matching repository.
```

Presumably there are no names found in the addRepositories method in https://github.com/jenkinsci/github-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/com/cloudbees/jenkins/GitHubRepositoryNameContributor.java

Incidentally, it would be very helpful to have a logger in that function which details what URLs it is parsing and what names it gets (if any).

Thanks for the very useful tool!

  Here is a lot more information about what is happening.
  
  github allows case insensitive matching, so both of these work
  
  https://github.com/<companyname>/<project>
  https://github.com/<CompanyName>/<project>
  
  assuming the name on github is actually CompanyName, github then sends back the URL
  
  https://github.com/<CompanyName>/<project>
  
  The plugin rejects the match if the URL entered was
  
  https://github.com/<companyname>/<project>
  
  I suggest allowing case insensitive matching on companyname so future users don't spend hours debugging this problem.

https://github.com//
https://github.com//

https://github.com//

The plugin rejects the match if the URL entered was

https://github.com//

I suggest allowing case insensitive matching on companyname so future users don't spend hours debugging this problem.
