Handle upper case MAC addresses in ifname option

While the documentation states that ifname MAC addresses must be
lower case, we silently accept upper case ones and fail later on
when udev doesn't rename the device.

Instead of adding sanity checking on the MAC address just convert
it to lower case and remove the requirement completely.
