Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

Currently Boxstarter modules can not be loaded on Linux systems because the codebase didn't really consider case-sensitivity to be a thing. (and PowerShell on Unix requires modules/files-folders to be handled case-correctly)

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

As a first measure, folders modules and functions should be renamed in order to be case-correct.
This way Boxstarter modules could be loaded on Unix systems.

Additional Context.

Adding support to "use Boxstarter on Linux" (or PowerShell Core / 7) will take more than just renaming a bunch of files and folders (think about WMI / WinRM vs. ssh etc.) - yet we have to start somewhere :-)
