Match sshd -T keywords case-insensitively when verifying hardening

OpenSSH 10.x prints configuration keywords in CamelCase in its sshd -T
dump, where 9.x printed them lowercase. The case-sensitive grep in
omarchy-setup-security-sshd therefore never matched on OpenSSH 10.x, so
the hardening drop-in was always judged ineffective and removed, leaving
password authentication enabled.
