Description
## Background
Currently, the pattern `ddMMMyyyy` doesn't work for dates like `11JAN2026`, only `11Sep2012`.
In Java this is fixed by making the formatter case-insensitive:
```scala
val formatter = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder()
.parseCaseInsensitive()
.appendPattern("ddMMMyyyy")
.toFormatter(Locale.ENGLISH);
```
However, Spark does not do that and patterns are case sensitive.
## Feature
Add support for capitalized month names when casting dates.
