Issue:
`queryByTestId`, `getByTestId` use partial case-insensitive text match by default, which is unexpected

Relevant code or config

```javascript
import { getByTestId } from "dom-testing-library";

document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = `
<div data-testid="supertest-123"></div>
`;

document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = `
${getByTestId(document, "tEsT")
  .outerHTML.replace(/</g, "&lt;")
  .replace(/>/g, "&gt;")}
`;
```

What you did:

1. Added an element with `data-testid="supertest-123"` to an empty DOM.
2. Queried the DOM via `getByTestId` by string `"tEsT"`.

What happened:

The element with `data-testid="supertest-123"` was found.

Problem description:

The current behavior is unexpected, the identifiers aren't supposed to be matched partially and case-insensitively.

Suggested solution:

Use case-sensitive full-string match in `queryByTestId`, `getByTestId`.

fix: use exact match for data-testid
