Problem/Motivation
If module A defines
package = User interface
and module B defines
package = User Interface
then you will see two packages on the Modules page.
Proposed resolution
Force the package name to be lowercased except its first letter that is uppercased.

Beta phase evaluation
| Issue category | Bug because this funtionality does not mean the causal expectations of developers that are seeking to properly package/categorize their modules within having to care about case |
|---|---|
| Issue priority | Normal because these changes do not block Drupal's release |
| Unfrozen changes | Adjusts module package handling and fixes tests |
| Prioritized changes | The main goal of this issue is usability. We seek to improve the usability of the Extend page by properly grouping modules together even if their package names are different only in the way the works are cased. |
| Disruption | We are removing the ability to have lower cased (improper nouns) in package names. We are not impacting module's machine names or modules names at all. |
