Before this change, entity ids were stored in the page_props table in the
lowercase form. They are now being recorded in uppercase form. The page
props api module outputs the data as-is from the database, so it will be
mixed capitalization.
I don't see a way currently for us to hook into ApiQueryPageProps to modify
the output. Over time, occurrences of lowercase entity ids will decrease.
If it's enough of an issue, though, then perhaps we can look into a
solution for this.
