Deserialize all dictionaries as case-insensetive?

See original GitHub issue

Source/destination types

Dictionary<string, string>

Source/destination JSON

{
  "dictionary" : {
    "key1": "value1",
    "key2": "value2"
}

Expected behavior

I’m able to configure Web API or Core to deserialize dictionary as case-insensetice

Actual behavior

Dictionary is always case sensitive. What makes contract resolver settings critical and potentially breaking:

dictionary key comes in upper case
camel case contract resolver makes it lower case
code throws exception saying key in upper case was not found
