escape.ident should quote identifiers that have capital letters #22

@jedwards1211

Description

@jedwards1211

Expected behavior: escape.ident('Foo') === '"Foo"'
Actual behavior: escape.ident('Foo') === 'Foo'

If we had pool.query(`CREATE DATABASE ${escape.ident(name)}`), and name is 'Foo', the created database would have the name foo instead since Postgres lowercases unquoted identifiers.

I'm not even sure if name.toLowerCase() !== name would be a sufficient to decide whether to quote because who knows if JS lowercases all the same non-Latin characters as Postgres does? I think the safest bet would be to add double quotes if the name doesn't match /^[a-z_][a-z0-9_$]*$/ (case sensitive)
