.... so that the generated venv name is independent of case on Windows

Based on original PR #2421 with consent of its author
Normalizes the path before hashing so that the generated venv name is independent of case on Windows.
Without normalization, it is possible to unintentionally create multiple virtualenvs for the same path when (accidentally or due to certain tools) using an alternative spelling. It may also happen that an existing virtualenv is not found.
Attention: This change only affects Windows because os.path.normcase just returns the unchanged path on other operating systems (independent of the fact if the file system is case sensitive or not).
