Making open case-insensitive to file extensions (#10451)
# Description

Closes #10441 

Uses `String::to_lowercase()` when the file's extension `ext` is parsed
to allow `from_decl(format!("from {ext}"))` to return the desired output
regardless of extension case.

It doesn't work with sqlite files since those are handled earlier in the
parsing but I think is good- since there's no standard file extension
used by sqlite so a user will likely want case sensitivity in that case.

This also has the (possibly undesired) effect of making `open`
completely case insensitive, e.g. `open foo.JSON` will work on a file
named `foo.json` and vice versa. This is good on Windows as it treats
`foo.json` and `foo.JSON` as the same file, but may not be the desired
behaviour on Unix.

If this behaviour is undesired I assume it would be fixed with a
`#[cfg(not(unix))]` attribute on the `to_lowercase()` operation but that
produces slightly "uglier" code that I didn't wish to submit unless
necessary. 

old behaviour:

# User-Facing Changes

`open` will now present a table when `open`-ing files with captitalized
extensions rather than the file's raw data

# Tests + Formatting

new test: `parses_file_with_uppercase_extension` which tests the desired
behaviour
