  `<link rel=preload as>` keywords should be matched ASCII case-insensitively

Reviewed by Frédéric Wang Nélar.

This patch aligns WebKit with Gecko / Firefox and Blink / Chromium.

`as` is an enumerated attribute [1], so determining its state is an ASCII 
case-insensitive match
against its keywords [2] -- the union of the preload destinations and the 
module preload
destinations.

`LinkLoader::resourceTypeFromAsAttribute()` instead passed the raw attribute 
value to
`parseEnumerationFromString<FetchRequestDestination>()`, which looks the value 
up in a
`SortedArrayMap` of `ComparableASCIILiteral` and so compares case-sensitively. 
`<link
rel=preload as="IMAGE">` was therefore treated as having no valid `as` value: 
the console got
"<link rel=preload> must have a valid `as` value" and nothing was fetched, from 
either the
preload scanner or the link element. `as="FETCH"` was unaffected, because that 
keyword is
checked separately with `equalLettersIgnoringASCIICase()`.

WebKit already performs the case-insensitive match one layer up: 
`HTMLLinkElement::as()`, the
getter behind `link.as`, compares its keywords with 
`equalLettersIgnoringASCIICase()` and returns
the canonical keyword [2] in lowercase. So `link.as` reported "image" for 
`as="IMAGE"` while the
loader refused to load it.

Lowercase the value before parsing it, which is what the bindings generator 
already emits when
reflecting enumerated content attributes.
