Describe your change:

Improve the performance of the existing ASCII lowercase conversion by replacing the generator expression with an explicit loop.

The updated implementation:

• Computes each character's ASCII value only once.
• Uses module-level constants for the ASCII uppercase range and case offset to improve readability and avoid magic numbers.
• Builds the result using a list and joins it at the end.
• Preserves the existing behavior and doctests.

Benchmark using:

python -m timeit \
  -s "from strings.lower import lower; s = 'Hello WORLD 123!' * 1000" \
  "lower(s)"

Results on my machine:

• Previous implementation: ~1.08 ms per loop
• Updated implementation: ~772 µs per loop
• Runtime reduction: ~28.5%

• Add an algorithm?
• Fix a bug or typo in an existing algorithm?
• Add or change doctests? -- Note: Please avoid changing both code and tests in a single pull request.
• Documentation change?
