Repro Steps

wslpath -a expects wsl$ in lower case while windows allows any case of individual letters, like WSL, Wsl etc. If user simply copy paste the path from explorer and try to use it, it fails.

wslpath should support any casing of WSL$

Following works fine.

$ wslpath -a //wsl$/Debian/home
/home

Expected Behavior

$ wslpath -a //WSL$/Debian/home
/home
$ wslpath -a //Wsl$/Debian/home
/home

Actual Behavior

$ wslpath -a //WSL$/Debian/home
wslpath: //WSL$/Debian/home
$ wslpath -a //Wsl$/Debian/home
wslpath: //Wsl$/Debian/home
