DOS did not have cases in filenames. Different OS interpret
them as either all-lowercase or all-uppercase. So we try both.
All-uppercase is done by the obg/obm/obs files, and if opening
fails, OpenTTD will automatically retry the all-lowercase variant.

So for those who already have the files lowercase, nothing
changes. For those that install fresh from TTO, it should now
work out-of-the-box.


This is an alternative to #8322, which also changed a lot of entries to lowercase. This seems to be the wrong move: in the way OpenTTD works, lowercase is always checked anyway.

Ah, I forgot that OpenTTD tries lowercase as well. So this works no matter whether the OS changes the case for old DOS-uppercase-only filenames :)
