Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
When using the REST RPC endpoint `/v1/taproot-assets/universe/stats/assets?asset_name_filter=XXX`, the name must be an exact match, including exact upper/lowercasing.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like for the filtering to return assets where the `asset_name_filter` is a substring of the asset's name and to be case-insensitive.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Right now, in Terminal, we fetch all assets to do the filtering in the browser. As the amount of assets increases, this becomes unsustainable. We'd like to switch to server-side filtering, and it would be a better UX to allow users to find assets without needing to type the exact full name.

**Additional context**
I mentioned this to @Roasbeef, he said to reference https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html in regards to text matching at the DB level.

Research direction

Start at the QueryAssetStats entry point serving /v1/taproot-assets/universe/stats/assets and review how asset_name_filter is applied. Read the referenced SQLite FTS5 documentation before deciding how database-level matching fits the existing query. Done means the endpoint returns assets whose names contain the filter without case sensitivity, with coverage for substring and casing variations.
