Subject: [ruby-core:103674] [Ruby master Bug#16798] ENV.replace on Windows with a variable name not respecting case will clear it

Issue #16798 has been updated by vo.x (Vit Ondruch).


The backport breaks on RHEL7:

~~~
hash.c: In function 'keylist_delete':
hash.c:5661:5: error: 'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode
     for (long i=0; i<RARRAY_LEN(keys); i++) {
     ^
hash.c:5661:5: note: use option -std=c99 or -std=gnu99 to compile your code
~~~

Interestingly, I have not met this issue in Ruby 2.7. Are there implicitly the -std=c99 or -std=gnu99 options?

On Windows, environment variable names are case insensitive:

```
PS C:\Users\deivi> ruby -e "puts ENV['Path']; ENV['PATH'] = 'foo'; puts ENV['Path']"                                                                                                                                                     C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Ruby26-x64\bin;C:\Ruby25-x64\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Ruby27-x64\bin;C:\Ruby25-x64\bin
foo

PS C:\Users\deivi> ruby -e "puts ENV['Path']; ENV.update('PATH' => 'foo'); puts ENV['Path']"                                                                                                                                             C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Ruby26-x64\bin;C:\Ruby25-x64\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Ruby27-x64\bin;C:\Ruby25-x64\bin
foo
```

However, with `ENV.replace`, if you don't use the "canonical casing" (as given by `ENV.keys`, for example), the environment variable will be cleared.

```
PS C:\Users\deivi> ruby -e "puts ENV['Path']; ENV.replace('PATH' => 'foo'); puts ENV['Path']"                                                                                                                                                 C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Ruby26-x64\bin;C:\Ruby25-x64\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Ruby27-x64\bin;C:\Ruby25-x64\bin


```

This is unexpected to me.
