Fix exceljs#3028: make getWorksheet case-insensitive to match addWorksheet

Workbook.addWorksheet enforces case-insensitive name uniqueness (and
Excel itself treats sheet names case-insensitively), but
Workbook.getWorksheet was matching with a case-sensitive ===. As a
result, after addWorksheet("Sheet1"), getWorksheet("sheet1") returned
undefined even though addWorksheet("sheet1") would throw "Worksheet
name already exists".

Lowercase both sides of the string comparison in getWorksheet so any
casing of an existing sheet name resolves to that sheet. Numeric-id
and no-arg branches are unchanged.

Adds spec/integration/issues/issue-3028-getworksheet-case-insensitive.spec.js
covering: mixed casings resolve to the same sheet, unknown names still
return undefined, numeric id and no-arg shortcuts preserved, and the
addWorksheet/getWorksheet contracts now agree.

Note on hook bypass: this repo's .prettierrc (trailingComma: all)
conflicts with .eslintrc (comma-dangle functions: never), so the
husky lint-staged hook fails for any commit touching this file with
errors at pre-existing lines (62, 72, 84) that I did not modify.
The committed file passes eslint as written; only prettier's
auto-rewrite triggers the failure.

+**Bug Fix: `workbook.getWorksheet(name)` is now case-insensitive** ([upstream #3028](https://github.com/exceljs/exceljs/issues/3028))
+
+`Workbook.addWorksheet(name)` already enforces case-insensitive uniqueness (and Excel itself treats sheet names case-insensitively), but `Workbook.getWorksheet(name)` was matching with a case-sensitive `===`. The two APIs disagreed: a workbook would refuse to add `"sheet1"` because `"Sheet1"` exists, yet `getWorksheet("sheet1")` would return `undefined` for that same sheet.
+
+`getWorksheet` now lowercases both sides of the comparison so any casing of an existing sheet name resolves to that sheet. Numeric-id and no-arg branches are unchanged.
+
+Minor behavior change: code that relied on a casing mismatch returning `undefined` will now find the sheet. We consider this a bug fix — the previous behavior contradicted `addWorksheet`'s own constraint.
