fix(task-4): block_define dedupes requested layers case-insensitively so one layer in two spellings is created and reported once

DXF and ActiveX layer tables are case-insensitive, but block_define collected
the primitives' layers with a case-sensitive set. A request naming 'Alpha' and
'ALPHA' with create_layers=True made ezdxf add the first, then raise
DXFTableEntryError on the second after the write — layer left behind, no block,
surfaced as an internal error instead of a named refusal. COM ran Layers.Add
twice, got the existing layer back the second time, and reported two layers
created for one that appeared; the two engines diverged and the refusal message
without create_layers named the same layer twice.

referenced_layers() in backends/block_specs.py keys the set on the folded name
and keeps the first spelling; both engines consume it. _FakeLayers in the
hardening tests now matches Item/Add case-insensitively and returns the existing
record on a duplicate Add, as the ActiveX table does, so the COM path is pinned.
