Be able to change capitalization in a tag name in a single step

Currently, if you try to rename a tag to the same name but with different capitalization, a "Tag already exists" error message will appear. The check if the tag name already exists should exclude the tag that is being renamed.

    The original design for PI Tagname is such that under the hood, we do not differentiate based on capitalization. As such, if you were using something like PI SMT to rename a tag (under Point Builder), since we do not differentiate based on capitalization, if you were to change capitalization, we evaluate that as being the same Tagname thus you're presented with an error. Due to legacy backwards compatibility, we have no plans to differentiate Tagname based on capitalization.
