fix: preserve case of customSubscriptionEmail and customSubscriptionFooter (#1849)

[jacalata]

Summary

RequestFactory.Site.update_req and create_req called str(value).lower() on customSubscriptionEmail and customSubscriptionFooter when serializing to XML, silently mangling caller intent.

site.custom_subscription_email = "[email protected]"
site.custom_subscription_footer = "Sent by Tableau -- Confidential."
server.sites.update(site)
# server received: customSubscriptionEmail="[email protected]"
#                  customSubscriptionFooter="sent by tableau -- confidential."

Impact

• Email: cosmetic (SMTP treats mailboxes case-insensitively in practice), but recipients saw the wrong-case "from" address.
• Footer: functionally broken. The footer is displayed verbatim in outgoing subscription emails, so lowercasing removed company-name casing, sentence capitalization, brand terms, etc. Anyone setting a customer-facing footer via TSC got a mangled result with no workaround short of the web UI.

Verification

Read the server-side code path to confirm the server does not itself lowercase these fields:

• RestApiSiteParamsBuilder.setCustomEmail / setCustomEmailFooter at tab-api-restapi-all/.../RestApiSiteParamsBuilder.java:461-488 — pure passthrough from request payload into withCustomReplyToEmail / withCustomEmailFooter.
• SiteParams.withCustomReplyToEmail / withCustomEmailFooter at tab-domain-site-interfaces/.../SiteParams.java:671-680 — direct assignment to member fields.
• Site.setCustomReplyToEmail at tab-domain-site/.../entity/Site.java:495-497 — direct assignment; JPA column custom_subscription_email.
• SiteParamsValidator.java:170 validates the email is a well-formed address; does not modify case. Footer has no validation.
• No toLowerCase() anywhere in the server-side write chain.

Cross-checked against tabcmd Classic (which uses a different ClientXML endpoint but same user-facing semantics): Classic sends both strings verbatim as multipart form parts (EditSite.java:179-182, StringPart.java:33-36). No case normalization on the Classic client side either.

Fix

Drop .lower() on both string values in both update_req and create_req. The paired *Enabled boolean attributes still get .lower()'d (they need to serialize as "true"/"false") — just the string values are now sent verbatim.

Closes #1849.

Test plan

• Two new regression tests in test/test_site.py — one for update_req, one for create_req, both asserting the exact case of email + footer survives to the XML request body
• Full test_site.py suite: 28 passed
• mypy clean

Discovered while

Implementing tabcmd editsite parity (tableau/tabcmd#437, tableau/tabcmd#452).
