[PATCH] web: send capitalized authorization header scheme

[Aleix Conchillo Flaqué]

* module/web/http.scm (write-credentials): capitalize authorization
header scheme. The standard allows the scheme to be case-insensitive,
however most libraries out there expect the scheme to be capitalized,
which is what it is actually used in RFC
docs (e.g. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7617#section-2). Some
libraries even reject lowercase scheme making Guile incompatible.
