* [pve-devel] [PATCH installer] auto: answer: netif pinning: transform mac addresses into lowercase

Users may specify MAC addresses in the network interface pinning map in
an uppercase format, which is more common than lowercase in some
environments.

This would then cause the auto-installer to mistakenly consider these
addresses as unknown - thus just unconditionally convert all MAC
addresses to lowercase while parsing.
