Fixes creativecommons/cc-legal-tools-app#286 by @jodeebrowm

Description

Capitalise the letters used in the items of third level enumerations,
e.g. (a)(1)(B) instead of (a)(1)(b). This is consistent with the HTML
version of the licenses and only affects the labels of the enumeration
not the references inside the text (which are already upper case).

@jodeebrowm thank you for taking the time to do this work!! I agree that there should be consistency between formats.

However, I am going to close this pull request because:

Please let me know if:

  1. you'd like to open an issue in creativecommons/cc-legal-tools-app noting the inconsistency
  2. or I can create an issue and credit you in the description
