Variable names are case-sensitive

Amy Qualls requested to merge 225631-aqualls-case-sensitive into master

What does this MR do?

As noted in !34821 (comment 371534299) variable names are case-sensitive. This MR adds a single sentence to https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/operations/metrics/dashboards/variables.html#user-defined-variables saying that variable names are case-sensitive.

@sarahwaldner it's possible that this work is incomplete, and that I should put something similar on https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/operations/metrics/dashboards/templating_variables.html - let me know if that's the case.

Closes #225631 (closed)
