Many mech units were loading the fallback placeholder image when the game was run under Linux. This commit corrects case-insensitive image paths in mekset.txt to fully resolve the issue.

Part 1 of 2 for fixing case-insensitive image paths under Linux.
This is my first set of PRs for the MegaMek project! I only started playing this yesterday, having locally compiled the most recent commits, and I noticed that a ton of mechs were only appearing with the fallback placeholder. I dealt with it for awhile, but eventually I asked on the Discord if this was normal (I assumed it wasn't). When I was told it definitely wasn't, I looked into the issue and the solution was actually shockingly easy. All I did was edit data/images/units/mekset.txt and changed all case-insensitive paths to images to correctly match the image's case.
A separate PR will be submitted shortly after this one to address a similar issue with the same root cause where an alternate tileset in the MegaMek battle screen failed to load when selected.
