Use a lowercase crate name

Inflector is different from most crates in using a capital letter to start it's crate name. It would be nice if it was consistent with the rest of the ecosystem.

👋 At this point I'm less enthusiastic about changing the crate name. However, if others feel strongly I am open to changing my mind and changing the repo and crate name.

As a way to vote instead of :+1: comments just react :+1: (change the name) or :-1: (keep the same name) on this comment.

This, however minor it is, actually made me reconsider using the crate for a bit. First impression is that the author somehow doesn't get Rust. Looking at the crate you obviously do, but this is a hump for new users to get over.

I've left this open for far too long. I'll start a rename soon. It'll likely come after a small refactor to fix issues with the newest nightlies.

It's not just aesthetic either, it just took me a couple of minutes to figure out why cargo wasn't finding it.
