Description

We had reports that some versions of CSC could embed two module references in the metadata - one as supplied and another matching the actual file name.

There should be just one module reference in the metadata.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by supplying a netmodule reference in wrong casing and examine the emitted metadata to verify duplicate module references. Then fix the compiler to ensure only one reference is written or document the expected behavior.
