Allow lowercase letters in pkgname #22

Although Arch has its own packaging guidelines such as package names being lower case only. This is not a rule set by makepkg itself which is what I believe we should be following.

Having too restrictive checks have caused problems again and again and each restriction is slowly being lifted. I mentioned this in #11.

The point of this patch though is not just because we should allow it. But because it causes real problems with packages such as xorg-server, which has uppercase provides.

That's too bad, but I agree with you that we have to follow the makepkg behaviour. Thanks for the PR!
