Store OptTable::Info::Name as a StringRef

This avoids implicit conversion to StringRef at several points, which in
turns avoid redundant calls to strlen.

As a side effect, this greatly simplifies the implementation of
StrCmpOptionNameIgnoreCase.

It also eventually gives a consistent, humble speedup in compilation
time.
