Zapotek/arachni — Issue #134: --mods case sensitive

I was writing up some text for the PTES-G and noticed that the regex check used in --mods appears to be case sensitive. Although this isn't a big deal, it can lead to confusion as modules are listed as capital letter first.

Example:

--mods=*,-Common* --> Common-Files and Common-Directories are still run, no error is returned
--mods=*,-common* --> Common-Files and Common-Directories are deactivated

As I said, only a small issue but one that could catch out testers and maybe cause issues when testing production systems (disabling plugins only to find they're not disabled).

If all modules are referenced in lowercase this should be a simple fix ;)
