 [md5sum] do not unconditionally convert md5sum.txt to lowercase 
* In f8ab5bb, we chose to unconditionally convert md5sum.txt to lowercase when we had
  modified entries, to work around the fact that Microsoft used /efi/microsoft/boot/Fonts
  for the EX replacement, whereas the source was /efi/microsoft/boot/fonts, so we ended
  up with a case mismatch.
* And unlike what we asserted about case being a non-issue, our own UEFI NTFS driver is
  actually case sensitive, so changing the case of the existing files in md5sum.txt results
  in a stream of 'file not found' messages during MD5Sum validation.
