Jim Myhrberg 4d447e723a feat(text-editing): Safer case change keybindings (C-x C-u, C-x C-l)
By default when region is not active, both `downcase-region` (C-x C-l)
and `upcase-region` (C-x C-u) will operate on surrounding text in
different ways depending on major-mode. This has caught me off guard a
few times.

So let's replace them with safer `downcase-region-only` and
`upcase-region-only` functions which ONLY perform changes when the
region is active. And obviously changes are only applied to the text
within the region.

;; Set strict/safer case changing functions to C-x C-u and C-x C-l which ONLY
;; perform case modifications when region is active.

"Only downcase if region (BEG END) is active.
Avoids accidental downcase when region is not active. Passes all
additional ARGS passed along to `downcase-region'."
