Description of problem: Changes were made in RFE Bug 1461003 to remove the ability for subscription-manager to register using the --type option. However to maintain compatibility for RHUI consumers, the ability to specify --type="rhui" was silently kept. The problem is that the previously accepted value for type was case insensitive and there are KBase articles that demonstrate registering with --type=RHUI and --type=rhui. Therefore subscription-manager should maintain case insensitivity for RHUI.
