#1155 $(sys.Platform) doesn't work with Candle's -platform switch

[jordanf]

The -platform switch is used to set a preprocessor System Variable called Platform. The value passed by the user with the -platform switch is converted to start with an upper case character which eventually leads Candle to think that an invalid value was passed.

1. Author a Package with sys.PLATFORM:

<package installerversion="200" platform="$(sys.PLATFORM)"></package>

1. Compile the wxs with the -platform switch

candle.exe product.wxs -platform intel

Expected:

A package is built with the platform Intel

Actual:

Product.wxs(7) : error CNDL0265 : The Platform attribute has an invalid value Intel. Possible values are intel, x64, or intel64.
