windows: replicate the normalizing behavior of os.environ

On Windows, `os.environ` normalizes environment variables to uppercase. Our
current bytes-based environ substitution object is a simple dict, so we add
the normalization behavior.

This fixes test-http-peer.t on Windows.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
