Title:
  The webservice mahara_view_external.php looks to check for a user
  wrong

Bug description:
  We store username and email in Mahara in lowercase and therefore
  compare passed in username or email against the database as lowercase
  versions.

  However in webservices it looks like we don't do that and just compare
  what is passed in so if we have $value['username'] = 'ExamplePerson'
  it won't match on the person in the database with 'exampleperson' but
  it should as usernames are lowercase unique in the database.

  Need to update the checkuser() functions in
  webservice/functions/mahara_institution_external.php
  webservice/functions/mahara_user_external.php
  webservice/functions/mahara_view_external.php
  webservice/functions/mahara_blog_external.php

  So that those functions check the username and email in a lowercase
  fashion
