Enhance JSON Adaptor with Case-Insensitive Field Mapping

The current JSON adaptor implementation, the property name or %JSONFIELDNAME is treated as a constant and case-sensitive when importing JSON into an object. This means the JSON key must match exactly or match with the xData Mapping.

To improve flexibility, introduce a new parameter, %JSONFIELDCASE, which allows developers to override this default behavior and perform case-insensitive mapping during import.

Example:

Property Name As %String(%JSONFIELDCASE = 0);

This property would accept any of the following JSON keys: "Name", "name", "nAMe", etc.

Property Description As %String;

This would only map successfully to the exact key "Description" in the JSON.

This enhancement would help reduce JSON parsing errors and support more flexible integrations.

    In addition, if no %JSONFIELDNAME is provided, allow Case-insensitive behaviour for data import. It is really strange that now import is Case-sensitive, as class properties are not Case-sensitive by its nature.
