Problem 77. Clean the List of Names

Given a list of names in a cell array, remove any duplications that result from different capitalizations of the same string. So if

 names_in = {'bert','arthur','Bert','Fred'};

the

 names_out = clean_list(names_in)

results in

 names_out = {'bert','arthur','Fred'};

Always take the first occurrence of the duplicated string
