[staticroutebfd] fix ipv6 letter case issue (#15765)

*use lower case for IPv6 address as internal key and bfd session key. fixes #15764

Why I did it
*staticroutebfd uses the IPv6 address string as a key to create bfd session and cache the bfd sessions using it as a key.
When the IPv6 address string has uppercase letter in the static route nexthop list, the string with uppercase letter key is stored in the cache, but the BFD STATE_DB uses lowercase for IPv6 address, so when the staticroutebfd get the bfd state event, it cannot find the bfd session in its local cache because of the letter case.
