Some more optimizations
Please look at commits one by one. Overall this makes the twig_escape_filter almost 20% faster here for happy path (escaping string for html with UTF-8) on 1000 calls. Still pretty darn slow, but faster.

97bf5e5 Avoid unnecessary is_object call
c1c0dcc Use uppercased charsets consistently (as in js/css/html_attr strategies)
a23fa62 Add UTF-8 in uppercase since it is so common
c891c53 Avoid strtolower call at every twig_escape_filter call
61f2b2a Use plain string comparison which is twice as fast
