[llvm-dev] [cfe-dev] Shortest RFC ever: I propose we rename files using `.TXT` extension to use `.txt`

The problem here might be git trying to rename 'file.TXT' to
'file.txt', which results in an error on Windows since it sees both as
the same name.

Some problems on Windows/MacOS systems are possible.
