Update of bug #44562 (project octave):

        Operating System:               GNU/Linux => Any

At my work the Matlab-addicts have even made strmatchi (case-insensitive
strmatch); both forms are used intensively in the code base. So I wasn't glad
to see strmatch being deprecated - that'll surely negatively affect Matlab
compatibility within a few years.

Although I've just converted the io package functions, I see little reason to
deprecate strmatch other than to cut down on some maintenance effort.
