[python-ldap] Inconsistent capitalization breaks schema parsing

Hello,
Is this the proper place to bring bugs to the attention of python-ldap
developers?
I've noticed that inconsistent capitalization of attributes in a schema
LDIF file can result in a SubSchema with some entries missing.
Use the attached files to reproduce the issue.
The problem is that the LDIF parsing yields to something like
`{'attributeTypes': [...], 'attributetypes': [...]}`, but when that is
converted to a case-insensitive dict, one of the keys overwrites the other.
I'm not sure where to do a proper fix. Clean up the dictionary before
converting? Modify the LDIF parser to normalize attribute names to the
first value seen? Modify cidict to optionally handle conflicts like these?
I'd be grateful if someone familiar with the code base could give me an
opinion.
