Module tab completion is case insensitive

Description

Typing 

import IPy<tab>

yields both IPython and ipython1 as completions.

Further, 

import IPython.dt<tab>

changes the input line to 

import IPython.

and returns options starting with a capital 'D'.

In modulecompletion, the completion_list can be modified to only return relevant options, or, alternatively, the completion machinery can be modified to heed case.

Fixed by r2904. Now attempt case sensitive matching for custom completers first, and if none, only then fall back to case insensitive matching.
