[Impact]

ADSys cannot update GPOs on Jammy Jellyfish 22.04 because of misnamed folders. adsysctl expects the folders to be title cased (e.g. Machine), but they are uppercase (e.g. MACHINE). This prevents any GPOs from being applied.

This is a common occurence with GPOs created by Microsoft, like the Default Domain Policy.

[Test Plan]

* Mark the Default Domain Policy as active for the client.
* Restart and/or manually sync the client machine.
* Observe the log message indicating that parsing the GPO failed:

Policy "Default Domain Policy" doesn't have any policy for class "user" open /var/cache/adsys/sysvol/Policies/{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}/User/Registry.pol: no such file or directory

[Where problems could occur]

* Fixing this bug will allow adsys to parse, and possibly fail when applying policies from an uppercase path, whereas before it silently ignored them. Fixes for these potential bugs have also been submitted.
