_parent named browsing context should not be case-sensitive

Reported by l...@bocoup.com, Mar 16 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. window.open a document into `_pARent`

What is the expected behavior?
The browser should choose the parent browsing context if the current context has a parent, or choose the current browsing context if it is a top-level browsing context.

What went wrong?
The browser is opening a new browsing context named `_pARent`.

Any subsequent calls to `window.open` into `_pARent` will reuse the browsing context created by the first invocation.

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 56.0.2924.87  Channel: n/a

Concluded in https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2443#issuecomment-289043039 that case-insensitive is better.
