Folders should auto-lowercase the URL/Name field on creation

Problem Statement

When a website editor creates a new folder, the Title field auto-prefills the Name (URL) field — but does not convert the value to lowercase. This introduces inconsistent URL capitalization across the site, which can negatively impact SEO and URL hygiene.

By contrast, when a new Page Asset is created, the Title is prefilled into the URL field with spaces replaced by dashes and the entire value lowercased. Folders should behave the same way.

Steps to Reproduce

• Log into dotCMS as a content editor.
• Navigate to the Site Browser.
• Create a new folder with a Title that includes uppercase letters (e.g., My New Folder).
• Observe the auto-prefilled Name (URL) field.

Expected: my-new-folder
Actual: My New Folder (or similar — preserves original casing)

Acceptance Criteria

• When a folder's Title is entered, the auto-prefilled Name (URL) field is automatically lowercased.
• Spaces in the Title are replaced with dashes (or the existing separator logic) in the URL field, matching Page Asset behavior.
• Manually typed values in the Name field are also forced to lowercase on input.
• Existing folders are unaffected (no migration of existing URLs).

Start in the Site Browser folder-creation flow and compare its Title-to-Name behavior with the Page Asset creation flow described in the issue. Verify that generated and manually entered folder names are lowercase, spaces use the existing separator logic, and existing folder URLs remain unchanged.
