Fixes #35328
Static web assets generates a manifest that creates a "virtual file system" that maps content from different folders/locations into the app. That manifest is built as a tree that we parse at runtime and use to map the different file requests to the underlying files.
Each node of the tree represents a folder/file in the path of the "file system". The issue is that when we generate he manifest, we need to preserve all the details about the casing because we don't know the final environment where the app is going to run (for example, within WSL or Docker, where the build has happened on Windows, (this is how tooling works))
This produces the problem that we have a manifest with multiple entries that are case insensitive, and that when we try to parse on windows, nodes that only differ on casing need to be "merged" into a single node.
This doesn't create ambiguity because we already have a process that validates at build time that we don't produce a manifest where more than one asset can target a given request path
