kiota Remove normalization from writers

Normalization of names should happen in the refiners to allow other phases to reuse the information.

Currently, Python and Ruby are performing the normalization in the writers, and this is causing a bunch of issues.

We should move the normalization back to the refiners.

@andreaTP would you be willing to take on this work?

Hi @sebastienlevert , sorry for the delay I was on PTO 🙂

I started looking at this issue; unfortunately, it seems more profound than I initially thought. In the ./src/Kiota.Builder/Writers/Python there are 75 occurrences of .ToSnakeCase() and, in some places, assignments are done again by mangling the name with propertyType.Name.ToFirstCharacterUpperCase().

I'll be grateful if someone in the core team is willing to tackle this. If you are short on resources I can prioritize it, but this is going to need more coordination than expected.

Invoking @baywet for chiming in here. But I agree these should happen upstream to allow for an easier use downstream.

Once the code migration is complete, we should investigate building a custom analyzer to prevent any regression.

re-opening as this still needs to be done for other languages. If you could address PHP next, it'd be great.
