Expected or Desired Behavior

I am not sure if this is the right Repo to report this issue.
I tried to create a new spfx extension using the yo generator @microsoft/generator-sharepoint

The generator includes this File: package-solution.json
Within this file the ClientSideInstance.xml is written as lower case.
If you build this solution on a Linux based system (e.g. Azure DevOps Build using Ubuntu as this is the default for NPM Builds), you will run into an error

Found Element Manifest: elements.xml
Error - 'package-solution sub task errored'
Could not find Element Manifest: sharepoint/assets/clientsideinstance.xml

If you alter the elements.xml using the exact file name, the build will be successful.

"assets": {
          "elementManifests": [
            "elements.xml",
            **"ClientSideInstance.xml"**
          ]
        }

Steps to Reproduce

1) Install Sharepoint Generator for yo (install yo if not installed)
npm install @microsoft/generator-sharepoint -g

2) Create a new extention using the yo SharePoint Generator
yo @microsoft/sharepoint --solution-name "solution-name" --component-type "extension" --component-description "List Command Bar Extention" --environment "spo" --extension-type "ListViewCommandSet" -- skip-feature-deployment --component-name "component-name"

3) Within the elements.xml the filename will be lower case. Builds on Linux Systems will fail.
