Review request for ranger.
Bugs: RANGER-2718
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-2718
Repository: ranger
Description
-------
**Problem Statement:** When The case conversion property to syncs users/groups
is changed then in the ranger admin user/group names get updated but the
user/group is not updated in policy json.
**Proposed solution:** A standalone utility can be added to update the users
and groups name in the policy json as they(existing user/groups) appear in
ranger db.
**Note:**
There could be few other issues while syncing users with diffrent case but the
below ones are not covered in this patch.
1) user name case was changed in x_user table but not in the x_portal_user
table.
2) user name case may not change if user is added in the security zone.
5) Behaviour might be different in different DB flavours.
6) user/group name in service config may not change
