[pve-devel] [PATCH proxmox-ve-rs v2 1/2] fix #5927: firewall: alias: lowercase names of aliases

[Stefan Hanreich <s.hanreich@proxmox.com>]

pve-firewall lowercases the names of aliases when reading from the
configuration as well as when comparing source / destination entries
with the entries in the parsed aliases. In order to stay
backwards-compatible we also need to lowercase any parsed alias name.
I decided to this in the constructor and switch all call sites to the
new constructor, so there's only one place where we have to handle
lowercasing the string.

Changes from v1 to v2:
* fix typo and improve description in documentation of Alias
* add bugzilla issue # to commit msg

Also leaving the thoughts I posted under v1 here:

Leo supplied a patch already [1] that changes the handling of names in
the firewall. Might make sense to revisit this patch series in the
future to unify how cases are handled in the firewall. Nevertheless,
this patch acts as a quick fix for users running into issues with the
firewall due to the difference in handling cases in pve-firewall and
proxmox-firewall.
