Research direction

Start by reading the package parsing and validation code behind Package::from_file and Package::from_bytes, along with any existing package-name validation tests. Done means both entry points reject package names that are not lowercase, with coverage for the new validation behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Upstream change to the proposal: https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model/pull/338

We should be validating this in Package::from_file and Package::from_bytes too.
