Description
When reviewing the flexible queryparser with my GSoC student, I found some String.toLowerCase() calls without locale. Also some code iterates per-char and lowercases. We should fix this to behave exactly like LowerCaseFilter.
Maybe we can make the queryparser pass all tokens to lowercase through a KeywordTokenizer->LowerCaseFilter chain, but this would create dependency to analysis module.

Research direction
Start in the flexible queryparser entry points mentioned by the issue and locate String.toLowerCase() calls and per-character lowercasing. Compare their behavior with LowerCaseFilter, then determine how to achieve identical token lowercasing while resolving whether a dependency on the analysis module is acceptable; done means locale-correct queryparser behavior.
