This function returns all magazines in lower case.

Example:

```sqf
currentMagazine player;                                    //  "30Rnd_762x39_AK12_Mag_F"
currentWeapon player call BIS_fnc_compatibleMagazines;    // ["30rnd_762x39_ak12_mag_f", ...]
currentMagazine player in (currentWeapon player call BIS_fnc_compatibleMagazines);                // never works
toLowerANSI currentMagazine player in (currentWeapon player call BIS_fnc_compatibleMagazines);    // works
```
